I reported in a previous thread that the cause of the problem was that
the download did not match up with the sha1sum.  What was odd, is that
the install disc testing said it checked out ok and it was only when
I tried to use it that it failed.  I guess it cannot be stressed that
after a download - check the sha1sum EVERY TIME and disc space may match
exactly but the checksums gives a more accurate picture.  This is a hard
lesson learned for me.
