Are you sure the installation you made was with the actual files from
"wcarchive.cdrom.com" INCLUDING the same boot & cpio disk ?
I just want to say _I'm not the only one_ with the SAME problem.
I read the same msg from s.o. else a week ago.
Ok, now what I did EXACTLY is the following things :
1)I downloaded from wcarchive.cdrom.com the files "boot.gz" & "cpio.gz"
ftp binary mode, of course. I unzipped them to 1M44 diskettes, rebooted
my system and installed correctly without any problem those diskettes.
2)Then I tried to install the "bin" distribution first.
I launched the "install" procedure and selected "bin" distribution.
As soon as this procedure was launched, I had the error message :
"Checksum error detected on bin.aa!"
3)So, I wanted to check manually the checksum. I jump to a shell
(ESC ESC) then I typed : "cksum bin.aa".
The result was : "2774410508 240640 bin.aa".
The script says :
if [ "`cksum 'bin.aa'`" != "3911826025 240640 bin.aa" ]...error...
So, that's normal I've got "Checksum error detected on bin.aa!"
4)So I tried to download this fuck**g "bin.aa" (ftp binary mode)
from many other sites with the same result :
"2774410508 240640 bin.aa" :((((((
What the hell is happening ???
Thanx
