- Nope, this is what I exactally did at first. I de-tar-red the file in /tmp,
- then ran pkgadd -d /tmp/xdm. I received the illustrious error in stream-crap
- message.
- So, I then tried to de-tar it to a floppy, and run pkgadd -d diskette2.
- This yielded a message telling me that it couldn't process the package, and
- to try using the old version of the program. (which didnt work either, but I
- expected this)
-
- So what can I be doing wrong?
