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
