This image is *not* corrupt. This is the correct MD5 checksum on the image
file (when downloaded with IE, Lynx, Links)

767e5a4d2bfeb00459f59e44ca5b3046  1123boot.flp

However, md5 is not needed to verify the integrity of the
file.  Lenght is adequate. This should be the proper length:

[root@home /root]# ls -al 1123boot.flp
-rw-r--r--   1 root     root      1474560 Nov 28 07:12 1123boot.flp


Netscape (only WinNT4 was tested) seems to corrupt to corrupt the
file. The length reported was 1,480,078 bytes and obviously a different
MD5.

The bottom line: don't use netscape to download the file. Hope this helps.
