This is why the files are split into bite-size chunks, so if the xfer fails you don't have to refetch everything. Ie, if you are doing 'get 2.1.6-RELEASE.tar.gz', don't. > I > am wanting to do a XUser installation by FTPing the neccessary files to > my PC in peices and then installing from the DOS partition.

I am eventually going to want the development files too. XUser probably includes bin, manpages, info, src/ssys, and basic X - bin, cfg, lib, doc, man, and an X server. I think :) You might try a custom install, it gives you better control over what's installed so you can tailor it to what you don't have.
