Hello,

some additional information on the install problem:
- the files were already on the mirros, I cold downlod them via browser. 
Install from local directory failed, error message told, that the the 
files are corrupted.
- Setup dosen't download ANY file. All the folders in the downlod 
directory are empty.
Regards
Helmut
