Hello everyone,
I'm trying to get started with FreeBSD.
I'm installing version 10.3 on a VMWare virtual machine with the FreeBSD-10=
.3-STABLE-amd64-20170210-r313558-bootonly.iso image file, but I'm getting a=
 checksum error after the package downloads:

Distribution checksum failed
An installation step has been aborted. Would you like to restart the instal=
lation or exit the installer?

This is even more frustrating because choosing "Restart" brings you to to t=
he beginning of the installation, where you have to select the keymap again=
, redefining the partitioning options, and furthermore, for some reason I c=
annot identify, the system is unable to get a new DHCP lease (and not getti=
ng one again results in the system not having a DNS server, even if it was =
configured by the previous DHCP configuration, for some reason).

I tried the following HTTP mirrors:

  *   http://ftp4.se.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/
  *   http://ftp2.ru.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/

(Note that FTP outright fails, but that's probably my university blocking p=
ort 21).

I'm now installing using a disk image containing the components I need, but=
 this probably has to be addressed!

I'll be happy to provide any additional information.

Best regards,
Riccardo Paolo Bestetti
