I was able to extract them by: go into srcdist directory and ln * /tmp go into /tmp and type extract src01 I found that extract was missing, and I had to mount /dev/fd0a /mnt (mount dist fs floppy in A:), then look for the extract program. I found extract in one of the .Z files. I was able to cpio -i -d filename (I think I remembered that one ok) For some stupid reason, extract is placed in the /tmp directory during the install, and when install reboots your machine, it wipes all of /tmp mark@student.business.uwo.ca (Mark Bramwell CS Staff) Western Business School -- London, Ontario
