Hi all,

I'm trying to install the 68k version of BSD1.1.  I've got 
as far as using the install utility to install the packages, 
but I get the following message whenever I try:

   Choose file to unpack
   bad checksum in tar header 2335 0
   Probably not a valid tar file.
   Try using the mini-shell and cpin or cpout.
   Finished extracting etc11.

I've tried getting the files from a couple of sites, but
still the same message.  I've unzipped them myself using 
MacGzip, and tried installing from as far as they'll unzip,
and as a .gz file, but still the same problem.

Is there anything I should/shouldn't be doing along the way?
Any advice would be very much appreciated.

Cheers,

Luke.
