Kevin,

It wasn't clear just what you were comparing against what.  If you were
comparing the md5sums of the RPMs on the "bad" CD with the MD5SUMS file on
that same CD, I would expect them to match.  I'm assuming that Loek's
message meant that the RPMs were broken _before_ the md5sums were generated,
hence checking them against MD5SUMS just validates that the contents aren't
any different from the broken originals.

To be sure, I would download one (or a few) of the replacement RPMs
individually, and try to install one of them.  If that works, then you'll
just have to download the rest.

Loek Sluijter,
   Thanks for your reply!  Just a couple questions.  I looked at the rpm
packages you said were at the bottom of the support page.  When I run
md5sum against these same rpm packages on the cd, I get the same value as
in the MD5SUMS file on the SP3 cd.  Doesn't this mean the rpm packages are
not corrupted? Or, are the values in MD5SUMS no good?
