Hi to everyone,

A strange error happens when i install MINIX
choosing 1K block size:
bunzip2 will report a "broken archive" error when i call packman
and install all packages.
packman will fail and packages won´t be installed at all.

I tried it several times on different machines with same results.
No error occours when i choose 2K or 4K block size.

Ye gods, I had the same problem, just never linked it to the 1K block
size... Thanks for reporting, I'll try to look into it shortly.
