Duhh yea, guess that was on the RM that flew by while I was
installing it, guess I'll have to change my ol' ways...

I'm still getting this weird "broken pipe" when trying to open the
mounted decompressed file of Netscape v7.2 that I've been DLing
numerous times at the 17.3Mb(unstuff'd at'round 53Mb) on DT,
but I've never got a single workable. Any ideas??
fyi- I even DL'd their new 9.02 full STD installer, and still all I
get upon several "successful install" trys is v9.01, so go figure.

Thanx for the imput here John, but I'm still thinkin' that it could
be the possible messed up Permissions problem(believed to have 
happened during either a CCC cloning or a re-cloning back move),
and am hoping for a uRL link to what permissions the actual System 
is in need of kinda across the board like, anybody gotz one to share??,
before, I hafta give up and dig up my ol'(untouched) originally 
cloned X.3.4 HD and start all over from virtual scratch.

Is that Archive&Install akin to a clean System install in OS9 with
an "old system" left to scavenge and trash later type deal?, and
if'n so, what size Archive file is remaining after the re-install is
completed?, and is it later trashable to regain the space?

Do Please advise, any/all ideas, advice, suggestions are welcomed
and be very much appreciated. TIA for the time and considerations.

Respectful of GURUs
