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. -- °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Kernel 2.4.18-6mdk Mandrake Linux 8.2 Enlightenment 0.16.5-11mdk Evolution 1.0.2-5mdk Registered Linux User #268899 http://counter.li.org/ °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
