Subject: SETUP: new setup.ini with md5 sums crashes setup 2.192.2.24 on W98SE
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

This started happening today.

When I try to 'Install from Internet' from my normal mirror
(http://ftp-stud.fth-esslingen.de) Setup starts downloading
setup.ini and then crashes with the following error:
  SETUP caused a general protection fault
  in module USER.EXE at: 0004:00005ff0.

Tried with some other mirrors: same crash.
One mirror succeeded (ftp://ftp.easynet.be).
Investigating the differences it turned out that the setup.ini
from ftp.easynet.be does not have the md5sums yet, the other
crashing mirrors have setup.ini with md5sums included.

Is this W9x specific or is it also happening on NT/2K/XP ?

Regards,
