The hydrogen3-ext.iso has a number of files filled with nulls. It appears to
have been a gross oversight somewhere. The workaround that works for me is
to install hydrogen (beta 1) and use the hydrogen3 iso/cd files to do an
UPGRADE. That way, I may have some older files but none corrupt or just left
out.
(Did someone use Netscape to transmit these files? I have had a 5Mb file
filled with nulls occur from a netscape "instant download". Fortunately I
was watching the screen at the time the DL started and the window flashed
momentarily on the screen and the windowopen sound collided with the window
close one.)
