Hi Yudhi, hi all,

Then you actually have all you need to install DR-OpenDOS 7.02
on your harddisk. (To produce a floppy disk set, you need DOD702.EXE instead).

However, it s true, in the week after Christmas there have been problems
downloading the files from the UK site, but not from the US FTP server.

>i do have comparison image i get with image at caldera ftp
>site, the two is same even with time stamp.
The weak files (from the UK web server) had the same date/time stamp
as the proper files (from the US FTP server), and even the same sizes,
but still the CRCs weren t correct. The problem should have gone since
some time. For reference, here are the valid XDIR checksums for the files:

--a---   6,227,059  12/01/98  14:13   95DA  12dod702.exe
--a---   3,249,047  12/01/98  14:16   04E3  12dol702.exe
--a---   6,230,429  12/01/98  14:11   42DD  72dod702.exe
--a---   3,254,735  12/01/98  14:12   A0A2  72dol702.exe
--a---   6,230,205  12/01/98  14:09   955D  dod702.exe
--a---   3,248,841  12/01/98  14:10   7AD6  dodl702.exe
--a---   6,210,344  19/12/97  11:01   143D  od702.exe
--a---   3,227,168  19/12/97  11:04   F0A3  odl702.exe

Of course, not all download problems are related to this... However, if you
don t get these checksums for your files, you won t get happy with OpenDOS...
