From: sakaria@vipunen.hut.fi (Sakari Aaltonen) Subject: My First Segmentation Fault Date: 8 Jun 1992 22:43:21 GMT
I've had a basic Linux 0.96a running on a Toshiba T5100 for a few days now.
Trying to move on to big things, I downloaded gcc-2.11c.lib.tar.Z, a file
of about 1.2Mbytes. When I say
tar zxvf gcc-2.11c.lib.tar.Z
Linux says "Segmentation fault" and the file stays as .tar.Z type. There is
no crash; tar just doesn't its thing.
Does anybody have an explanation or a cure? The biggest file tar has handled
this far was gcc-2.11c.misc.tar.Z, about 1Mbyte. The current total is about
10Mbytes. (I transfer files with mcopy; I tried rawrite with the offending
file, but it didn't help.)
After the "Loading..." message, Linux reports 681984 bytes free space and
Free mem: 2621440 bytes.
Oh yes: how does one add a new user?
Thank you in advance,
s.a
