I downloaded the KDE2 binaries and have followed the instructions, which tell you to change directory to run and run 'tar xvzf filename.tgz'. I do that, and most of the files extract just fine. However, when I get to kdebase.tgz it starts to extract and then says:
tar: Skipping to next file header
gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--crc error
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
What I'm doing is downloading the file in Windows 98, rebooting into Linux and then extracting. The reason is because this machine currently has a Winmodem which doesn't work under Linux (I'll be adding a PCMCIA eventually). I've tried downloading the file multiple times and from different mirrors - same problem. I've tried copying the file over to the Linux partition instead of extracting it from the fat32 partitoin - same problem.
Any ideas? Thanks!
