Thanks to those who wrote. The suggestion was that I had ftp set to ascii mode but was not the case. My ftp program is fairly reliable in auto mode and the files were all the correct size. What I have since done is add the -b (binary mode) switch in running md5sum.exe instead of blindly following the instructions with only the -cv switches set. With -b set I receive an OK for all 85 files. Now once I figure out how to concatenate these files with whatever is in my NT box, and write a CD, I may be on my way to more wonderful Linux thrills.
