installing gnome abruptly crashes

Hi,

I'm following the gnome install directions from www.gnome.org, which use
links (or lynx) and ximian.  Everything seems to be going fine, and then
suddenly the installer quits.  It downloads all the packages, and about
halfway through verifying them it just stops and leaves links.  Below is
what appears in the xterm I started links from.

I can send you the logfile, but it doesn't seem helpful.  It has the seem
thing about 30 times, and then something which seems like good news:
(
rc_verify_md5: good md5
rc_verify_size: good size check
)

Either way, the terminal after it quits:


go-gnome: 4.0.6 (Thu May 30 12:36:01 EDT 2002)

I am now fetching the Ximian Desktop graphical installer.
This can take a few minutes, so please be patient.

The installer appears to have encountered an error.

Cleaning up temporary files... done.
