Yes, those md5sums are the same as those in the md5sums file I have. As an update on this, I tried installing using CD's made from the iso's I've been able to get - even with the wrong md5sum's. No surprise that, although the install completed and I really can't find anything yet that doesn't work, there were either 5 or 6 packages that had errors when the installer tried to install them. Because of that I tried again last night to download cd2. I went back to mandrake.redbox.cz because that is the only server I've gotten a good tranfer from (my cd1 iso came from there and is ok). I used a different ftp client to try and eliminate the possibility of a bad client. Came in this morning to find that Ncftp had downloaded the entire file but had hung at the tail end instead of closing and completing. I've seen that before with gftp and not figured out what causes it. As I pretty much expected the md5's do not match though the byte count does match that of the source. So, again I have went back with rsync to attempt to fix them and am told by rysnc'ing to rpmfind.net that the iso's I have are ok. I guess I can see if the ftp will go better from our RedHat 6.2 server instead of my workstation (or ask the guy next to me to use his winbox which I'm loath to do) but aside from that I'm out of idea's. It would sure be interesting to recalcuate the md5's on the various source file to see what they actually are. The fact that rsync reports them as matching doesn't make any sense - unless they really do match in which case I don't see how the md5's can be what they're claimed to be. -- Mike Rambo [EMAIL PROTECTED]
