There's more to it than that. My disk 3 was the exact same length as the
one on NCSU's ftp site. I made a "chopped" version with DD, and (in
separate incidents) updated it with both rsync and lftp. I got the same
file all three ways, and it doesn't match the md5sum that the web page
shows.

Either NCSU has the bad file also, or the md5sum on the web page is wrong,
and the one that was posted earlier in this thread is the correct one.
