Hi,
I have an old AST Advantage! P60 w/8mb ram and 420 mb hdd. This will become my firewall. Now I am trying to upgrade/install samba-2.0.7.rpm and ssh.rpm (both from suse sites) via yast and I get the following message:
"unpacking of archive failed: cpio: Bad magic".
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.
I am also getting this error on a couple of 'low spec' machines (P90, 8Mb Ram), I am putting it down to lack of memory, because it does not happen if I double the memory. I go around it but putting 64Mb ram in the machine, installing and setting the box up, and then removing the memory. Bad work around, but it works...
