The official Mandrake 9.0 md5sums are:-
1a2fd731fb6e30d39b0b99f504b231b3 Mandrake90-cd3-i18n.i586.iso
05a3ccafaacc37d6d1e2f260fc274549 Mandrake90-cd2-ext.i586.iso
f7a093af34b8cbe1abc165213fea9deb Mandrake90-cd1-inst.i586.iso
However, if you burn a CD with cdrecord and take the md5sum it will be
different, cdrecord adds a few bytes at the end, grrrr.
A common problem is the cdrom drive not being as good as it was. If this
is the case it will read pressed discs with no problem, but if second
class media is used and/or the burner is not AAA++ then there can be
problems even though the disc checks out OK on another reader.
