List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Hi. Hope my posts aren't getting annoying. If so, I'm sorry. Just had = another question. I used to use Easy Cd creator on the winBlows box to = copy the tar archives like kernel 2.4.18 and move them to the linux box. = The archives were fine on the windows box. I used Cd creator with the = iso9660 file system, and support for 30-character filenames to copy the = archives to a Cd. The physical format of the cd was mode 2. When I = coppied the file to the Linux box, re-named it using mv, and untarred = it, it appeared that the archive was corrupted. However, I was able to = untar the files fine on the winBlows box using winzip. Does anyone know = why easy cd creator would corrupt the archive? I think it might have to = do something with the way that particular program writes data to the cd, = but I'm not sure. That is why I am using Nero Burning Rom to try and fix = the corruption problem. If anyone has any idea as to why this type of = corruption might be occuring, please let me know. Thanks for all the = help so far!=20 _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
