re: corrupt files on Amiga Format CD

[chrisl%cursci.co.uk@localhost]

I've just installed NetBSD 1.21 from this month's Amiga Format CD,
which has fixed all of my hard drive problems nicely. However, some of
the distribution files on it appear to be corrupt - I get a couple of
unexpected EOF errors, and two or three CRC errors. Rather than
download the entire set, is there any way of finding out which
of the files is at fault, so I can just download that one?

Having checked my copy of the AF CD last night it seems you are correct.
The corrupt files are 

base121/base121.do
man121/man121.ac
misc121/misc121.ah

These can be found by comparing the checksums of each file with the ones listed 
in the cksum file, however this only seems to be included in the base121 
directory on the cd, so i had to download the other cksums (from 
gatekeeper.dec.com). 
I presume it was caused by errors when AF downloaded the files.
