You might want to check the Solaris distribution as I had to remove the -n from the tail command to get it to work: tail +1137 ./Solaris.bin | tar xf - script has: tail -n +$scriptlen < $0 | tar xf - Other than that, this distribution appears to be working much better than the one I had tried to install yesterday. - Charlie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Charles J.
