I have just downloaded "woody" 3.0r2 using jigdo and I have two questions...
1) When I run md5sum -c md5sum.txt on disc 1 (NONUS) I get the following errors: md5sum: WARNING: 1675 of 3784 listed files could not be read md5sum: WARNING: 53 of 2109 computed checksums did NOT match Upon closer inspection, (I did not check all 1728 problem files), it appears that there are a number of 0 length files and missing directories. My first thought was that the CD creation process failed, but I found an email in the debian-cd archives (http://lists.debian.org/debian-cd/2004/debian-cd-200401/msg00089.html) in which somebody else described the same problem. Unfortunately, there was no (public) reply to the email, so I don't know the resolution. FWIW, I downloaded the non-non-US CD first, then read the FAQ, realized that I really wanted the NON-US version, reran jigdo, told it to scan the non-non-US CD so I wouldn't have to redownload _everything_, and proceeded from there. Also, FWIW, I am running the cygwin version of MD5SUM on a windows box. Given all of this irrelevant information (:-)), is this behavior to be expected? Has anybody else downloaded the non-US CD and run MD5SUM? 2) And now, for question 2... Do the installation CDs support a "rescue" mode that can be used to operate on a workstation with a severely damaged root partition? It seems that when I try to boot the "rescue" image, it wants me to specify a root partition on my HD? What happens when that partition has been so severely trashed that all I want to do is to run fsck on it and recover whatever I can?
