The install discs have a slimmed-down version of C library on them to allow the rest of the installation system to fit. In the process of slimming libc, bits have been missed out: it seems like llseek() is one of the functions that have been purged. Please could you file a bug against the installation discs virtual package? (I would do it myself, only I can't remember the exact name). Austin
