In the directory you d/l'd the iso's to, run
'md5sum -c name_of_the_md5sum.asc'. You did also d/l the md5sum
file right?
If that's OK's the d/l'd iso's, after burning check with
'md5sum /dev/hdc' (assuming hdc is your cdrom). If the md5sums
then don't match, you have a problem burn**. Most likely
asscociated with the GUI you used (k3b).
**If you have a separate Cdrom and burner, try checking (and
installing) from the burner. They are often better readers than
CDroms, DVDroms. Don't use a CD-RW, use CD-R media.
Windoze apps like Nero, and Linux GUI's like k3b often corrupt
the iso by misuse of cdrecord parameters. If you suspect this,
then burn the iso file with somethin like
'cdrecord -v -eject driveropts=burnfree speed=16 dev=ATA:1,1,0
-dao Name_of_file.iso' on the command line. You'll probly
have to adjust your speed and dev from mine. The most important
bit is -dao. Do not use parameters like -data or -pad.
Bottom line is until you get the iso's to match md5sum before
and _AFTER_ burning ... you don't know if you have bonafide CD's.
If you still have an install problem, hopefully it'll be fixed by
10.1 Official ;)
