Looks like the current weekly images are completely broken.
Could you try a daily image? If you really want a full CD image,
I'd suggest Beta 3.

Please let us know if one of these works for you.

IIRC these files being missing is consistent with the fact that the
images are broken.

This is strange though. You should get an error, not a segfault.
Did you get a red screen with an error message? What happened after that?

Cheers,
