Using the same disks to bring up 7 machines so far, we have had 3 come up with a shell script file in place of the /usr/include directory and the subtended files. It's as though some disk randomly puts a file there, preventing what I assume is part of the development set (the /usr/include library files and that directory) from being installed. It's a simple fix, moving the file and making the directory, then copying the files from one of our other machines, but I wonder why it happens and what the possibility of other parts of the system being garbaged is. These were all new machines, with the faulty and non-faulty bringups equally distributed between 7300s and 3B1s (yeah, right, 7 machines -- okay almost equally). Pretty strange. Comments? - Mark G.
