additional info from mandrakeexpert incident 29212 forwarded to cooker. when replying, please cc this email address: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----quoted text below---- keytouch : 09/09 01:56 : More info provided Some more detail: When the install fails I do: rpm -ivvh --root /mnt XFree86-4.2.1 etc. whilst in the /tmp/image/Mandrake/RPMS directory. The resultant install tells me that there was an error on the %pre install script and then eventually fails when unpacking /usr/X11R6/bin/Xprt:3d7d24c1: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch. Could someone please talk to me? Chris -----end quoted text----- -- Alan
