sounds like all is well on that mirror then.  good!

pretty sure I downloaded the ISO image from ftp.freebsd.org, but small
chance it could possibly have been ftp2 or ftp3.  (didnt seem to matter
at the time. :-).  

download time was this afternoon (Mon Feb 11 2001) around 1pm - 2pm PST
onto my FreeBSD-4.4 file server.  burnt it to CD (twice coz I thought the 
first one was a bad burn).  Next, thinking that the CD drive on the 
target box was bad, I then mounted the image on virtual device and tried 
install via FTP and NFS but same problem.  Finally I looked at the 
checksums and... bingo:

proflibs/

checksums for dist files as found in ISO cd image:

Only one is different for the proflib dist: proflibs.ai.  But its 
not the only thing broken.  I can do without proflibs, but try 
running without ld-elf.so.1...

BTW: proflibs.ai in ftp.freebsd.org: /pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.5-RELEASE/proflibs
has the correct checksum (30ed88bb800b758473272556f58a94a2).

% md5 4.5-install.iso 
MD5 (4.5-install.iso) = bf63592c2cbdc9dc5b305437860fc140
%

ftp://ftp{,2,3}.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/4.5/CHECKSUM.md5
all say the checksum should be:
	MD5 (4.5-install.iso) = b406310617450d34245f4c9fb3c30931

did some looking before I posted but could find anything.  do you 
remember which FreeBSD list or the date?

I finally installed over FTP (from mirror) and that worked like a charm
(as always!).  Only reason why I mention it is so that we dont waste
mirror bandwith downloading hokey 600MB files.
