Re: [newbie] 'mandrake70-2_i486.iso' image burnt a blank CD

[Ashley Moore]

Hi,

Thanks for the info on the md5sum. I guess I download got screwed up. I
downloaded the iso again and successfully burnt the CD. I can't wait to try
it out later at home.

Does anyone know if the boot image (from 'mandrake70-2_i486') will support
installation from an ext. parallel port CD drive?

Thanks a ton.
Ashley Moore.

like john i have burnt that cd and had no problems, i also used nero in
win98,

to check the md5sum enter the directory with the iso in a console and
run the command: md5sum <isofilename> and wait a bit, if you have more
than one file to check in the directory using wildcards will check a
selection or all of them, compare the result with the one quoted in the
text file
