Consider the .bz2 file under bzip2: bzip2-1.0.3-2.tar.bz2 I did a "bunzip2 -d file..." and ended up with a file "bunzip2.exe" which is corrupt. Can't do tar -t file... without getting the corrupt file error. Maybe I just got a corrupt file but I thought I would check things out before continuing to really mess things up. How can I re-get that one file without setup messing up my current system? -paul Christopher Faylor wrote: > Your dislike of setup does not translate into your getting support for > installing packages without setup. > > This really falls into the category of "If you can't figure it out you > probably shouldn't be doing it".
