[vox-tech] RedHat 7.1

2002-03-14 Thread Kevin Dawson
If your machine is running RH7.1 Server, would you please check if my gzip and gunzip executables are not corrupted. Pleae run md5sum `which gzip` `which gunzip` and let me know if you get Ocae 9777 548d 5dcb 6179 5599 6f51 3525 in both cases. This is Mike's great idea. Thank you, Kevin ___

Hi Jan, You did a great research in the gzip question. I also want to blame the hardware just because it's a 2 months old custom-made box. On the other hand, nothing else causes problem just gzip. If it is a random problem then I would expect some 50MB files succeed without error. How do you "ch

Hi, I cannot gunzip my gzipped files on RedHat 7.1. I get CRC error messages. On the other hand, when the files are transferred to Windows, WinZip opens them without any complain. Do you know any known bugs in gzip or gunzip? Do you know another uncompressing utility on Linux which does not invok
