I think it is pretty clear that at some point the FDHD images from
ftp.apple.com became damaged.  I've found some garbage deep in 
install-1, and can find no apparent visible damage to install-2
however it also fails under a crc error.   I believe that ftp.apple.com
crashed for a time around 3 to 4 am early Thursday.  Perhaps that is
when the damaged occurred.  I got my copy after that time.

Is anyone having trouble un-binhexing the 800 k disk images?
Has anyone gotten a good FDHD copy since say about 6 am west coast time?

I wonder is the lines are jammed with people d/l-ing crap-o-la?

PS.  Earlier I asked for a corrected character pattern.  Since install-2
is no good, the first part won't help me either.
