corrupted bz2's .... hdd problem?

Right, I downloaded the 2.4.20 sources in .tar.bz2 format, copied them from my home to /usr/src , and then tried to extract em. Bunzip2 kindly tells me that the archive is corrupted:

Code:

sh-2.05b# bunzip2 linux-2.4.20.tar.bz2

bunzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing.
        Input file = linux-2.4.20.tar.bz2, output file = linux-2.4.20.tar

It is possible that the compressed file(s) have become corrupted.
You can use the -tvv option to test integrity of such files.

You can use the `bzip2recover' program to attempt to recover
data from undamaged sections of corrupted files.

bunzip2: Deleting output file linux-2.4.20.tar, if it exists.

No matter what archive I download from kernel.org , they are all corrupted. The installl is a clean slack 9.0 full install.

Download the .tgz package.

Then installpkg xxx.tgz

Are you connecting via a modem, modems are notorious for corrupting large files.

no, I am connecting with 768 / 128 broadband

@ Snocked, thanks, Im downloading now. Let's see if this1 is corrupted aswell.

btw, quite fast replies

Should be fine because I used it just last week to compile a new kernel.

So far so good

The file is not corrupted and I un tar-gzipped it in /usr/src.

Now, the guide tells me to edit /usr/src/linux/makefile. But in my filetree there are a few more levels:

/usr/src/linux-2.4.20/fs

/bfs
/efs
/fat
/hfs
/jbd

Well i think these are filesystems. They all contain that makefile file. Again, I have the ReiserFS, and I don't see RFS in that list

Wich one must I pick?

Why did you untar .tgz?

Use installpkg and it does everything in one hit.
