Using netscape I just click on say aic7xxx-5.1.26.patch and it saves it to disk. If I then do a "zcat -d aic7xxx-5.1.26.patch" on it I get a bunch of what looks like garbage ont he screen and then: zcat: aic7xxx-5.1.26.patch: invalid compressed data--crc error Is is possible that netscpae isn't downloading the file correctly? I've never had any problems downloading anything that way. Compressed tar files, RPM's, whatever, never had a problem. I've tried everything DLedford suggests on his site to no avail. -- Mark Hounschell markh@compro.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe aic7xxx" in the body of the message
