It would appear that on May 12, Luciano Miguel Ferreira Rocha did say:

rpm -Va >rpmVa.txt = A 289 lines... Which at 1 per file would seam to be
a very small percentage of FC1. Still since I don't have a clue if any
of them are significant, I'm attaching a copy to this message in case
anyone cares to look, and verify if this looks like a problem or, in
fact if it even looks like anything tar might have caused?

All the lines have some flags... a lot of "T mTime differs" 
some "M Mode differs (includes permissions and file type)"
quite a few "T mTime differs" and some "S file Size differs"
The ones with the "S" flag also have the "5 MD5 sum differs"
flag... yeah if the size changed it would tend to cause that.

But as for the "U User ownership differs" and "G Group ownership differs"
flags. These are only listed for /dev files...

As far as I know the only way tar was likely to cause any of this with
it's -p option set was with regard to mdk possibly using different
UID's for system file accounts in it's passwd file, when I used it to
extracted i the new FC1 without the "--numeric-owner" option, and that
should only affect the "U" & "G" flags in the rpm -V output.

I don't think I've actually overwritten the old FC1 on the old partition
yet. So I should be able to reboot with the old lilo floppy to test rpm -Va
on my original FC1 to see if the output was similar. Will probably get
a chance this weekend. I'll post a message to say if these same errors
were in the original FC1 filesystem or not...

Till then

See Ya
