My effort to install FreeBSD 2.0.5 by the installation program
from Walnut Creek CD failed due to errors like this:

    gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated

with subsequent cpio-errors.
I then managed to install it by copying the files by hand from
CDROM to disk. Everything seemed to work allright.

Now I tried to install packages from the CD using pkg_manage
and pkg_add and suddenly this invalid compressed data error
occurs again. gunzip'ping and untar'ing the files by hand
works - no corrupted files!

What's going on?

Thomas
