- Most likely, the file containing the checksum values is corrupt. Try
- downloading that again instead -- it'll probably clear up your problem.
-
- The other possibility is the new files are rewritten to bad sectors
- on you disk. If you dont:
-
- mv etc01.71 etc01.71.bad
- mv bin01.46 bin01.46.bad
-
- Then you will never take those sectors out of circulation (this should be
- done with bad144 at a later time).
