I've started getting errors during gunzips: core# pkg_add ghostscript-2.6.2.tgz gzip: stdout: Broken pipe tar: child returned status 1 ^CTar extract of /tmp/ghostscript-2.6.2.tgz failed! Unable to extract `/tmp/ghostscript-2.6.2.tgz'! I'm not sure when they started. It seems to work properly from the serial console if I log on as root, but breaks if I su from an xterm. I'm running bash as my main shell, and root's is the default csh. Has anybody else had this problem? Joe -- Josef Karthauser Technical Manager Email: joe@pavilion.net Pavilion Internet plc.
