I tried ftp.free.net and it's some weird site in Moscow. Anyway, try "rpm -qp *" in the RPMS2 directory of the ext iso. I'm betting you get a bunch of "does not appear to be a RPM package" errors. -- David Hart Vincity Design *Proudly sent from Linux Mandrake 6.1*

I haven't seen a list of any other mirrors with the iso's, but I would think that if the two main mirrors have bad iso's, then the original is bad.

At first i thought of a burning error, but the second time the same bug did appear. So i took a further look at some files on the ext cd. For example xxgdb-1.12-15mdk.i586.rpm was not found to be a valid rpm archive by rpm. I downloaded the same file from an ftp archive, and it looked correct. The 2 files had exactly the same size, but when i edited the iso version with hexedit, i found that it was completelly filled with null bytes ! I looked at many other files, and found the same problem, but not on all. The same behaviour occured also when i mounted the iso as loopback, so i think it is not a burning problem. I redownloaded the iso a second time, and the md5sum test was correct. Has anybody else met the same problem ? Pascal Grosse Yep, I experienced the same problem. Second cd files bad, wont install.
