That would be me :-) As yet ive seen now one even look into this issue except me....and ive only a few clues to go by.. My guess is tar has a bug in either LRP 2.9.8 or Eiger ...im not sure which... But the end result is packages created under Eiger do not sometimes uncompress properly under LRP 2.9.8 and packages made on LRP 2.9.8 do not uncompress properly on Eiger (seti from lrp.gibbsoft.com is a example) Though strangley enough packages made on either LRP 2.9.4 or Eiger work just fine on one another... Ive mentioned this on both the LEAF and LRP mailing lists but thus far no one has made a peep except me.... This is also what stoped me dead in my tracks on creating a LRP2.9.8 image of PPPoE....my package does not uncompress properly... I do have a seti303.lrp package available that works on Eiger....email in private if you wish a copy... ( and yes..it uncompresses fine on LRP2.9.4 and Eiger but not LRP 2.9.8...or did...i'll confirm this tonight) > Does anyone have any suggestions as to why something like this would > happen and how I can go about fixing it? > > David Kenneth Hadley _______________________________________________ Leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
