[SunHELP] ultra5 sol8 & gcc

[barry]

i have just rebuilt my ultra 5 from sol 7 -> sol 8 with recommended patches.

the problem i have found is when i go to add the package from 
sunfreeware.com for
gcc-2.95.2-sol8-sparc-local

with pkgadd -d ./gcc-2.95.2-sol8-sparc-local

as the package installs i get a lot of checksum errors and either the 
package installs with the errors or
it bombs out. i then remove it with pkgrm.

now the package i am using has gone onto another (2) sol 8 servers with no 
problems so i dont believe it is
the package. one of these was an ultra 5 and the other was a netra t1.

has anyone come accross this and is it possible to fix it???

i know i can get off of the extra disks in the distro the SFWgcc version of 
gcc but i dont want it written to /opt
i would rather keep it in /usr/local as this is how all of my servers are 
built.
