Thanks, Gabriel. Actually, I just went to the opensuse site and compared the md5sum there with what was on the dvd. Now I know both the iso on the disk and that on the dvd are correct. jp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

First, the media has to be copied correctly and there have been a few suggestions about thathowever, I get the impression you are talking about the Media verification done during install or by your media verification in Yast in your current system. If that says it is bad then there is a third possibility: The ISO file itself that you created the copy from could be defective and you can make as many good copies of that bad file and still end up with a bad install disk.So IF you are referring to the verify during install or media check indicating problems, the next step would be to ensure the ISO file was good to begin with.I don't have it handy right now, but there is a MD5SUM available for the iso itself which could be compared to the one you have on your disk. If they don't match, don't use it to make more coasters with :) Richard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The only problem is that when I checked the "verify" button, I didn't notice that the "do not eject" button was unchecked. So K3b couldn't verify the (ejected) dvd, and I can't get it to verify now.

You don't quite explicitly say it, but I take it the DVD you burned is one of the openSUSE 10.3 installation discs. If so, then you can verify it using the YaST "Media Check" module on your 10.2 system. If you still have the .iso image file, you can compare it byte-for-byte with the burned disc like this: % cmp openSUSE-10.3-GM-DVD-i386.iso /dev/DVD_DRIVE_DEVICE You'll have to substitute the name of your DVD drive for DVD_DRIVE_DEVICE. > John Perry Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi! You can also do an md5sum check ... if you are able to read all files, they should(!) be OK. Instead of copying them to the hd, I usually just run find /media/YYY -type f |xargs md5sum >> ~/10.3.md5 Only works this "easy" way if there are no spaces in dir or file names - for the 10.3 installation, this should be the case. Prints all the files with their md5sums. The sums itself are of no importance, yet look for read errors!

What I did was just read the disk back to the harddrive. If you can copy the whole of the DVD chances are its a good copy.

[opensuse] Can I verify using k3b?
I finally worked up the courage to upgrade to 10.3. Using K3b, I wrote a dvd, but some time in the past, the verify and "do not eject" buttons got unchecked and I didn't notice it. K3b completed without error, but, since it ejected the dvd, it errored out, and now I have a (probably) good dvd to use for installation, but can't convince K3b to verify it. Should I just burn a new dvd, or is there some way to verify its contents before destroying my 10.2 system?
