Well, the .changes file shows the same bad checksum, but the contents of the image is not altered at all. In effect, I discovered a while ago that mounting the image read-write through the loop device changes the filesystem informations in the superblock, therefore I guess I did that in the middle of building the boot-floppies package, just after the md5sum was computed :-(( Sorry for the mess, I will try to avoid it next time. Anyway you can use this image safely. Regards. -- Eric Delaunay | "La guerre justifie l'existence des militaires. [EMAIL PROTECTED] | En les supprimant." Henri Jeanson (1900-1970)
