The date is correct, going from memory it sounds about right. and a quick
check of the master ftp shows the same.

PhilI'm not fron MandrakeSoft, but since I wrote the message
that placed the dates in question on the two iso's I'll attempt
a response.  I believe that I should have said in my original
message that MandrakeSoft ANNOUNCED the two different Air iso's
on January 14th and February 4th respectively.  I would
certainly trust the VERSION file in the iso to indicate which
release it is.

I wonder why the ISO image here is dated February 1st? Does this mean
they're carrying an outdated image? As this is a mirror of sunsite.uio.no,
I had expected it to be reasonably up to date.

Could someone from MandrakeSoft clear this up?

Hmm...Interesting. I wonder why they changed the ISO on 2/5? The ISO
I have is already a 70-2.iso file. This must mean they've made some
further changes since they released the bug-fix version of Mandrake.

Haven't gotten any response from Mandrake after filing a bug
report, but I confirmed by talking to someone else on this list
that the 3c753fa01628fd8deeccbbdf1e4524e8 digest is for an older
iso image.  They changed the iso image on February 5, and did not
change the md5sum file.  Using an image with the message digest
of 6f01a2df94f8f39d6c73245e9bc87ada, I installed Mandrake, and
have been actively using the CD for a week or two with no sign of
trouble.  I think the image is fine.

When you download to correct your previous image, use rsync (eg to
rpmfind.net).  Best to set it up as a script.   rsync will use a special
algorithm to compare the two images at the bit level and only download
the differences.  It's VERY quick.

Hmm...if that IS the case, that might explain why I keep getting SOME
coasters, even though I've burned the CDs the same way as the ones
that reported fine.
However, I just ran the md5sum generator against the ISO image on my
machine and it APPEARS to be the one you list as the "proper" ISO
checksum. 
Ok. I just checked the checksum *I* generated with the one that
I downloaded from Mandrake. They match. Sorry, cannot verify.
You must have a bad ISO image. My *guess* is that you have some
errors being generated during download. I'd run some ping tests
between you and your dial-up server there at UTEXAS.EDU as well as
ping/traceroute (suggest you get and install MTR for this purpose) to
att.net, which is your immediate upstream provider for the University
of Texas.

[expert] md5sum mandrake70-2.iso

2000-02-25 Thread Richard Kilgore

Can someone confirm that the md5sum file for mandrake70-2.iso on
the ftp sites is wrong?  It reports that the checksum for this
file should be "3c753fa01628fd8deeccbbdf1e4524e8", but I've
downloaded it from different servers to different linux machines
using both ftp and http, and I always get the same md5sum value:
"6f01a2df94f8f39d6c73245e9bc87ada".
