Hi! I am new to this Linux world and I have been trying to load the debain Lunix. I got the base system installed from floppys, but know I'm having problems installing the gcc compiler.
I have been trying to FTP the gcc_2.7.2.3-4.8.deb gnu c compiler. But when I tried to ftp it either from another unix machine or via netscape to my PC, invariably it comes with an error. I checked it with "dpkg-deb -c gcc_2.7.2.3-4.8.deb" and it shows that the files are basically there, but the last thing it says it that it has an error. (error code=1). It also says something about a CRC error. I can't seem to get dpkg to accept the package. It may be of some interest to note that both netscape and the local unix ftp server seem to get stuck and don't disconnect when they are done, i.e., they never actually get done, but rather just hang there. Any thoughts? HELP -Joshua
