The MD5 checksum is sensitive to the byte, so it confirms you have an
exact copy. I suspect that the MD5 on the .iso file is one check, and
then an MD5 *on the physical media* is the second check. Past that.
it is up to the DVD duplicators to do their job.
Please note that the USB sticks - 4GB or 8GB - have been popular in
the past, but that even professional duplicators who swear that they
can do it, have failed in the past to make them correctly. As noted
on the master spreadsheet, our team has, including me, have burned a
bootable USB with the OSGeo Live 7.
The DVD duplication should be straightforward.

Hi Ian,
As long as the downloaded iso passes the md5 check and you have
managed to burn the iso and boot from it, I believe that everything
is ok.
Best,
Angelos

Just wanted to check this before ordering 800 copies...
Downloaded ISO and md5 check: OK
Burned ISO and used software's verify option: ok
Ran md5sum -c md5sum.text on the disc contents...
1 computed checksum did NOT match
./isolinix/isolinux.bin: FAILED
Is the md5sum.txt file generated before isolinux.bin is finalised?
The disc boots into OSGeo Live fine.
Actual md5 for isolinux.bin:

Hi all,
I've just tagged the osgeolive_7_0 branch in SVN. This doesn't mean
that testing is done, just that any bug fixes that come in to trunk
need to be backported (deep freeze). I'll wait until we send the
master image to the printers before tagging the release.
Now's a great time to download RC2 and test (a) your favourite
geosoftware and (b) try out a new one while you're at it. Greek and
Californian mirrors:

Note you'll need the Mini version if you are installing to a 4GB
USB stick. After many false starts, this will be the first release
with persistent disc space for 4GB usb drives possible. There's not
very much space to work with (415mb in theory, probably half that
in practice) but it's a start. Note the read-only USBs (the
default) will be faster since the writing process is to RAM disk
there. You have to be in an OSGeoLive 6.5 or 7.0 session to enable
the option in the startup disc creator tool.
Feedback to #osgeolive on the Freenode network, and the osgeo bug
trac'er.
thanks,
Hamish
