Lines: 23 Message-ID: <4kcq9e$m2o@news.halcyon.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: blv-pm11-ip18.halcyon.com X-Newsreader: News Xpress Version 1.0 Beta #4 I know this has been asked (and replied to) before, I apologize for asking again... FTP install fails at the point if trying to get the floppies/root.flp, I turned on the extra debugging info in the options screen and it shows everything working fine including logging in, CWD to 2.1.0-RELEASE, changing to TYPE I, sending RETR floppies/root.flp, the ftp server responds by opening binary connection for floppies/root.flp and then this is what happens: DEBUG: Notify: Loading root image from: ftp://192.168.0.1/FreeBSD /stand/cpio: cannot remove current : Is a directory gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data-format violated /stand/cpio: premature end of file and that is where I am at... Thanks for any help you may have in getting me past this! Dave DeLaune javaman@halcyon.com
