Installing opensolaris: problem by unzip


Hi! I've downloaded opensolaris under http://www.opensolaris.org/os/downloads/on/
There are 5 files (segments) in order to build a DVD image.
The instructions are:
Quote:
DVD Assembly Instructions

After downloading and unzipping segments, reconstruct the full DVD image by using the cat command (UNIX systems) or the COPY command (Windows systems). The correct syntax is:

* UNIX: cat file1 file2 file3 file4 file5 > file.iso
* Windows: copy /b file1 + file2 + file3 + file4 + file5 file.iso

You may then burn the resulting DVD ISO image.
I started unziping the last file (e), then the next one (d), but trying to unzip the next one (c), I get en error message-
When I do
Quote:
unzip sol-nv-b43-x86-dvd-iso-c.zip
, I get:
Quote:
Archive: sol-nv-b43-x86-dvd-iso-c.zip
End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is not
a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the
latter case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on
the last disk(s) of this archive.
unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of sol-nv-b43-x86-dvd-iso-c.zip or
sol-nv-b43-x86-dvd-iso-c.zip.zip, and cannot find sol-nv-b43-x86-dvd-iso-c.zip.ZIP, period.
What is the right way to unzip the whole thing?

thanks.

Well, does md5 signature match? If not, try bittorenting it on top of downloaded file - there is a good chance it will download only corrupted part.

This error is typical of a truncated file. Better download it again in whole, as I'm not sure resuming is possible from the servers.
