Sure, I can write it, I'm just having a hard time to decide where to put it, would CD FAQ be the right place? http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/ There is a topic "How can I verify that the downloaded CD images are correct?". My idea is to add below that question a "How can I verify that a recorded CD is correct?" or "How can I verify that a recorded CD uses a official Debian image?" Ideas? Comments?

Re: 4th Disc is has crack in it
Thanks for the information. As a matter of fact I installed debian 5.0.3 last night with the first dvd last night and everything is working out just fine. I have a broadband internet connection, so I was able to download enough packages to get me started. Thanks again.

You can use isoinfo to get the number of blocks, then use a combination of dd and md5sum to check if the checksum matches. Something along those lines: $ isoinfo -d -i $MEDIA_DEVICE You will see two line like: Logical block size is: 2048 Volume size is: 123456 Then $ dd bs=2048 count=123456 if=$MEDIA_DEVICE |md5sum You can find more examples and scripts to do that if you look for some articles on Internet. :) Kind regards, - -- Felipe Augusto van de Wiel (faw) "Debian.

Re: 4th Disc is has crack in it
Thank you so much for your timely response. What I meant by the "crack in it" was a physical fracture in the disc which I noticed on the top of the 4th disc. Further, on the bottom of the disc there was a strange discoloration which could be likened to a blob. Again, thank you for your response.

What do you mean by "a crack in it" ? In the sense the media is damaged ? You can compare MD5SUMS for the CD provided against the original MD5SUMS (or SHA as well) provided at http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.3/i386/iso-cd/ > So, I would like my money back, but in this case do > I contact the vendor for a refund or do I contact you guys? Contact them, *they* sold you this CD. In the case you are not satisfied (CD not refund), you can send the feedback to this list, since we don't want to list CD vendors who are not nice to (new) Debian users. Hopefully you can do much with the 3 firsts CD of Debian, and you may get the rest of packages using apt-get / Synaptic through Internet connection.

4th Disc is has crack in it
Hi there: I ordered Debian 5.03 through the vendor Linux collections.com and the 4th disc has a crack in it. So, I would like my money back, but in this case do I contact the vendor for a refund or do I contact you guys? The reason I ask is simply because this is the first time I have ordered any media with Linux on them. Thank you for you response. Sincerely, Jason Smith
