I downloaded the ALPHA distribution on the evening of June 7.
I've tried installing it from floppy and each time it fails
to install with a checksum error on bin.ad.  I've downloaded 
that file a second time with the same result.  Is there some
way to bypass the checksum routine?  Has anyone else had this
problem?
