- I successfully downloaded the tinyBSD disk image file. I installed a 50 Meg
- 386bsd partition on my hard disk. I got the distribution files bin01.00
- to bin01.56. I began 'extract bin01'.
-
- It checked the files and choked on the last one only: bin01.56.
-
- This last file is the only one which is not 240640 bytes long, instead, it is
- 227717 bytes long. My Vax/VMS system's ftp, or else Kermit to the PC, has a 512
- byte minimum size, so that when I get the last file on the PC, it is 227840
- bytes long.
-
- Naturally, the extraction program chokes because the file no longer passes a
- CRC test, despite the fact that there is nothing missing from it.
-
- Does anyone know how to rid this file of the excess 123 bytes?
-
- Alternatively, is there any way I can 'package' the file (in a tar archive or a
- zip file) so that I could unpackage it properly in MS-Dos?
-
- Thanks for your help in advance.
