Thanks Barry,

Well, all the .tar and .list files are there. I agree that the fact that
the file system wont extract is the problem, but can't understand why.
I'm thinking more and more that it is my host development system setup.
I am using Red Hat 9.0, and possibly the reason it will not extract is
due to factors such as incorrect permissions etc. I am currently logging
on as a user, then 'su root' and unpacking in my '/home/user/' directory
before running ./pwlconfig . 

The bootx project has been tested out and works fine on other systems
(Ken, the gentleman who sent me the file bootx.tgz extracted and put to
target flash card with the exact same file to check for me).

/me keeps plugging away :)
