Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi. I've been searching through the archives of the list and I've seen this question pop up quite a few times. Every time I try to install FreeBSD it comes up with the error that it can't write to the disk or something like that. The debug screen says there's a checksum error when it opens the bin.aa file. I'm sure I downloaded it correctly from the FreeBSD.org ftp site, since I used three different FTP programs using binary transfer on all three. So far I haven't really seen anything that'll fix my problem. Could you tell me exactly how to fix this problem, if it can be fixed? I'm sure there's a solution if so many people are having this problem. Oh well. Thanks. - J. Williams Williams_J@msn.com
