Subject: Bad md5sums on 91 ISO's; CHECK yours
Date: 28 Jan 2003 01:54:44 -0500

OK, I've done enough work on this now that I feel I should make this
public.  I have not been able to download a LM91beta2 ISO that matches
the md5sum checks listed in 

md5sums.9.1beta2.asc 

which is in the same dir as any of the beta ISO's on any of the mirrors.


I *was* able to get the 2nd beta ISO in and it checked out OK.  I have
not been able to do the same with the first one; even after 5
downloads.  I have a 24/7 constant connection with t1 speeds.  The
mirror I have been using is 

ftp://raven.cslab.vt.edu/pub/linux/mandrake-iso/i586/MandrakeLinux-9.1beta2-CD1.i586.iso

Yes I can switch to another mirror, but the point that I wanted to get
across is that everyone that is or has downloaded these betas needs to
subject them to an md5sum test.  It's very simple, all you do is 

[lx@tamriel LM91beta]$ md5sum MandrakeLinux-9.1beta2-CD1.i586.iso 

And if you get 

cf739ac78ca83b312d5969eb3241d453  MandrakeLinux-9.1beta2-CD1.i586.iso 

then your copy is bogus, like mine.  The only number that you should see
for an md5sum on the first cd is 

174db6ae3032ea1f48445a725427bd50 

Second CD: 

5d67a6b4f82b4dbe3417ad1c90249fbb 

Anything else is bogus.  I'd be real interested to hear the experiences
and information from others. 

LX 

P.S.  Anytime an ISO is downloaded, it should be verified for integrity
with md5sum.  If you haven't already done this, you should go back and
check it out.
