Note To Self

The habit of skipping disk image checksums is a very bad one to get into... it really comes back to bite you when you, say, install a system update from a corrupt disk image and hose your system to the point that it won't boot.

On the bright side, I have another bootable partition I use for beta testing, so I still have a totally usable computer, making this just a minor annoyance instead of a colossal headache. And on the really bright side, Panther is almost here—and this vastly simplifies the decision of whether or not to do a totally clean install of Panther.
