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...
