 So what am I doing wrong?

Is it the iso that you downloaded on hard disk that fails or is it what you 
burned on cd?

 You are right, it is 9.2rc2 which is Release Candidate 2, it is
 not final yet.

  RC2 is also not a release in itself, it's just a cooker 
snapshot. Quite old by now.  There's been a sh!+load of new 
packages since, most all of them bug fixes.  Install a few cooker 
mirror sources, and   'urpmi.update -a -f --wget  urpmi --wget 
--no-verify-rpm --auto-select -v'to get current.

 On the MandrakeLinux web site there is a poll 
 asking if they should use 650MB iso or 700MB cause they can get
 more on the 700. Mentions a lot of good stuff left off, because
 KDE and Gnome grew, IIRC.

Hmmm, been no mention of it on the cooker list, and I couldn't 
find it on Mandrake sites, including the Club.  Could you post the 
link Dennis ?

Hi Aron;

Navigate to the directory where you saved the ISOs and the .asc file in 
a terminal use this command:

md5sum -c 9.2rc2.md5sums.asc enter

You'll have to wait for it, it takes a few minutes.

If you have   9.2rc2.md5sums.asc   with these sums, and the 
three ios's all in the same directory, then   
  'md5sum -c 9.2rc2.md5sums.asc'   in that directory will do the 
checks for you, an should just output 'OK' for each file. Check 
again after you burn 'em, as some GUI apps for cdrecord can screw 
things up. Or just burn the iso's on the CL with 
  cdrecord -v -eject speed=4 dev=0,0,0 -dao iso
. The most important part being  -dao.   Check the CDr's with
   md5sum /dev/scd?

You are right, it is 9.2rc2 which is Release Candidate 2, it is not final 
yet. On the MandrakeLinux web site there is a poll asking if they should use 
650MB iso or 700MB cause they can get more on the 700. Mentions a lot of good

with all that the download version will have.  HTH

Oh I kinda suspected that. It's just that I had a spare 'puter layin
around and I wanted a look at 9.2 and I will purchase 9.2 when it is
released (then I will give my 9.1 distro away to some hopefuly soon to
be ex Win$ux user ) ;-)
