Howdy!
	Has anyone had problems with cksum errors when downloading the
	dist sets to an IBM RS/6000?  I downloaded all three dist sets
	from a couple different sites (agate and gatekeeper) and get
	a cksum error on EVERY file when running dcksum < MANIFEST.  Is
	the cksum command under AIX [3.2 I believe] operating on a 
	different algorithm, or, as a friend suggested, are all IBM
	machines just evil?

	-Brian

	P.S. I downloaded the rawrite and dist.fs files and created my
	     bootable, and all works fine.  Also, Yes, I did use ftp in
	     binary mode.
