Re: More md5 checksums, please



Um... I don't think thats entirely reasonable, "everything at
ftp.openbsd.org and its mirrors".  Thats a LOT of data, on
many machines run by different people.

If you can narrow that down some, I'm sure there are 
some (like me) who have a bunch of stuff who could 
create some of that data for you.

What specifically do you need?  I can understand your
frustration (though I don't see how you are getting
corrupted data via your net link).
