After completing step #1, I get this error:

Archive did pass checksum test, CORRUPT ARCHIVE!
If you've encountered this error it means that you've:
downloaded a corrupt archive
uploaded the archive in ASCII and not BINARY mode
your FTP Server/Decompression software/Operating System added un-needed cartrige return (' ') characters to the archive, resulting in archive corruption.

In a post I found in the installation forum, this was addressed, and the answer was to upload in ASCII mode.

What does it mean to upload in ASCII mode?

I downloaded the tar.gz file, but not through FTP. I just clicked on the link provided (http://fud.prohost.org/download/FUDforum2_20030123.tar.gz).
From the command line I gunzipped it and tar'd it.

Help a newbie to Linux and FUD, please!

Thanks in advance!

Clark
