Very Computer

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.

Don't unzip/untar them. The installer will do that for you.
It seems you might be corrupting them somewhere along the way.

Also, make sure you do any ftp'ing in binary mode.

good luck
