Re: [9fans] bind: exec header invalid

["Chris Lamrock" <chris@blackwidowguitars.com>]

Okay I looked into this last night & found:

/386/bin/bind was of 0 file size
as was /bin/bind

soooo I did a complete reinstall - guess what?!?  Everything is fine!  I'm
not sure what happened, but chances are I had some sort of media failure
while installing.

Thanks to all who helped!  Now I can start playing with it tonight - can't
wait!
