After downloading the file in question several times from different locations, including the FreeBSD ftp archives, I continued to receive the same messages regarding checksum failures. I came across one person's workaround, and was able to use that . However, there are several old postings in various newsgroups about this problem, some dating back to October 2002. Why hasn't this MD5 checksum issue been corrected yet? Is there another dependent issue that justifies not fixing this? Here are some of the postings I have seen so far: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2003-July/002704.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2003-July/002705.html http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-ports/2003-July/002706.html http://lug.kamloops.net/pipermail/lug/2003-July/004318.html http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/155/2002/10/0/10034605/ Regards, -- Barry C.
