Can you have a flakey iso if the md5sums are correct? Sure you can Dennis; I did. I stopped using the alpha disks and started just plugging whatever system I'm testing into my hub, or use a USB drive, or just plug my mirror drive in temporarily. Depends when and where. It's easier that way anyway. Same like installing from the 'Net but a lot faster 'cause I don't have to be patient with the connection. It is an Alpha release after all. Once you're up and at least have a usable system please install the testzilla-clients so you can add your hardware configuration to the database at bugzilla. I don't always remember to do it with the systems I test, but every little bit will help in the long run.

The one I mentioned is fairly fast but doesn't allow rsync connections. Have a look at either (or both) of the links below to see how current cooker mirrors are: http://home.skycon.net/~junfan/cookermirrors.php http://www.acert.pt/~fribeiro/mirrorwatch/ It's strange that the torrent was so slow.

I got various errors about kdecore4 (?) and a few more files, managed to get at least a bootable system then immediately ftp upgraded to the cooker tree. Check the signature line below generated by calling /etc/mandrake-release. You probably did pick a "bad mirror." Which one did you use? I've had rotten luck trying any U.S mirrors lately for rsync or for installs. I'm getting the best results for rsync from the Irish mirror and proxad for ftp installs. Btw, everything is working fine here, barring a few glitches that have already been reported. Good luck and have fun!
