 You did of course run md5sum for each CD image against the md5sum
 values distributed with the two iso images, didn't you?  If a
 mismatch, use an rsync re-download to correct the bad image - this
 will involve only a minimum of download bandwidth - and do md5sum
 check again.

 You may be able to get another md5sum check direct from the CDs by
 running md5sum /dev/cdrom (but I have never tried it).

 Later:  Tried it (using the device that wrote the CD, in my case
 /dev/sr0, and with the CD loaded, but NOT mounted).I got an
 md5sum match with my downloaded iso image, but neither matched the
 Mandrake-supplied md5sums downloaded with the isos from aarnet
 here.   These latter refer to different file names (ulysses, not
 odyssey). so I conclude they have not been updated and are incorrect.

I'm not sure what type of setup you have, but I didn't have that problem
myself; can you give more info on the machine you've loaded rc1 onto?  Can
you try d/l'ing the iso's again?  Off hand, it would seem to be something
with the iso's themselves, maybe try a different mirror?

Just some thoughts, Mike

I downloaded these iso's burned them, loaded them and the instsall
provess won't get past the "timeZone" query, it just flashes a windows
saying error in time zone data, What is up with that, Please help!
