Subject:	problem installing perl from cygwin setup

Hello,

I am having a problem installing perl from the cygwin setup installer.
If I
choose to add the perl as a install choice from a particular ftp site,
the
installer will retrieve the file via ftp but I will then get a message
window
about a checksum error. The message says:

Installation error (Checksum failure for
file://C:\home\dload\cygwin/ftp%3c%2f%2fsunsite.dk%2fmirrors%2fcygwin/release/perl/perl-5.6.1-2.tar.bz2,

Continue with other packages?

I am not sure why it complains about the checksum. In this particular
case I
am installing on W98,SE. I can install the base cygwin and other
packages
fine. If I choose different ftp sites it still fails.

I have also installed cygwin with perl successfully on a different
machine, a
windows 2000 professional laptop with no problems.

Finally as the last piece of information I had previously installed the
full cygwin
with all modules on my W98,SE machine about a month ago. But I had a
reason
to reformat my hard drive and reinstalled the os therefore I needed to
reinstall
cygwin and that is when I hit my perl install problem.

It is as if a month ago the checksum must have been working but now it
is
not.   Does anyone know how I can debug this?

Thanks,
Tom
