The same happens for all the other directories. I was into this situation several times (I installed 2.05R several times on different machines). My workaround was pressing ALT-F4 to go to the shell, kill cpio and/or gzip, to make the install program fail and retry. Usually processed without any problems then. -- Yen-Wei Liu
