|Hi All,
|
|Just recenty got a copy of the 96 Aug set from InfoMagic.  However,
|while installing, some importatn files (like the libs) couldn't be
|un-tarred or unzipped.
|
|I suspect highly it's due to a bad CD press run.  Has anyone in Oz
|got similar problem with their InfoMagic set?

You don't say what kind of errors you get. Do you get bad block reports
from the kernel driver or are the contents of the files corrupt?

I don't have the Infomagic Linux but I got the Infomagic Standards
CDROM recently.  My old SB CDROM had problems with the second disk. But
that disk mounted perfectly on my Sun. So perhaps the pressing is
marginal, possibly an eccentricity problem which my old drive couldn't
cope with.
