I recently purchased the InfoMagic Developer's Resource 4-CD set.
I encountered all sorts of crc and tar errors while installing the
Slackware 2.2 (kernel 1.2.1) distribution on the first disk.

The errors consistently occurred in the same packages, so I doubt
that it was a problem with my system, rather, I think that the disks
are bad.  It is the second set that I have had (took the first back).
In the first set, there were also consistent errors, although they 
occurred in different packages.

Anyone else out there have goo/bad experiences with this 4-CD set?

Please let me know.  I have sent a question/complaint to InfoMagic
support, but I have not yet heard from them.

Thanks.

Also, I am curious to know what is going on in this area (if 
anything) in terms of Linux on DEC Alphas. ?????
