The base2_2.2.tgz that I got did not have the correct major and minor nodes on IRIX. I changed them and it appears to be happy. All the nodes seem to be correct when unpacking on a linux box. Is there a way to at least have the correct major and minor nodes when it is unpacked on a IRIX box? thanks, john On Sat, 5 May 2001, Ralf Baechle wrote: > On Fri, May 04, 2001 at 05:19:47PM -0700, John D.
