Since nobody had an answer for me, I tried tarballs and failed at gunzip
(invalid compression data--crc error). Still out of luck. Are the files
getting corrupted when transfered over my LAN? I send  stuff back
and forth to my Winbox with out any problems. I suppose I could unzip them
first, then send them. Or, send to the Winbox and burn a cd. I'd rather
*solve* the problem though. 

Anyone?
