I picked up SLED eval DVD at a conference and as soon as I got home, I
wanted to set it up. But it hung up with a message similar to,
"libosip2-2.2.0-18.2 fails..." something like ..."checksum" or
"...integrity". I didn't catch the last word, but the "libosip..." part is
correct.

So I downloaded another copy of the DVD from Novell's website and tried
again. My results? The same error message at the same place. So I tend to
trust the media.

How do I trouble shoot this? What is "libsoip2" used for? Is there an
application that I can omit, just to get around the roadblock?

I'm running a D915PBL Intel board with a 1.7Ghz P4 hyper-thread processor
and 1Gb of DDR2 Ram. The brand new 40Gb HDD is hda, hdb is a 160Gb Seagate
that was, and still is, my former My Documents. The installer intends to
mount that volume as "Windows/C", if it should finish the install. While waiting,
I've successfully installed and am running SLES 10.1 for a reply from this thread.

In suse each directory on the install media has a file nemed "MD5SUMS" that lists all the files in the directory and md5 sums for each file.

It sounds as if for at least one file the installer has detected a discrepancy in the md5 value of a file.

BTW, a little Python script generates the MD5SUMS file for a directory specified in the script itself - it is a "home" version that requires some familiarity with editing of the scripts.
