The 8.2 i386 boot CD ISO image (boot/boot.iso) does not seem to be the same on all FTP servers. The file sizes are the same but the MD5 hashes are not. Here are the MD5 hashes I computed for the boot.iso file from 4 different FTP sites: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/8.2/boot/boot.iso 0aa2a5c7038c67c4df0893301711cd53 ftp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/ftp.suse.com/i386/8.2/boot/boot.iso 0aa2a5c7038c67c4df0893301711cd53 ftp://chuck.ucs.indiana.edu/linux/suse/suse/i386/8.2/boot/boot.iso 453e986395cb861df4a1e64340570e1c ftp://ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu/pub/suse/suse/i386/8.2/boot/boot.iso 453e986395cb861df4a1e64340570e1c The first 2 are the same and the last 2 are the same, but they are not all the same. The cmp program reports the following differences: $ cmp -l boot.iso-suse boot.iso-chuck 441139 377 333 441141 377 2 441142 110 324 441143 333 11 441144 110 2 441145 2 6 441146 324 2 441147 11 324 441148 2 11 441149 6 2 441150 2 6 441151 324 377 441152 11 110 441153 2 377 441154 6 110 boot.iso-suse is from ftp.suse.com and boot.iso-chuck is from chuck.ucs.indiana.edu. Why is this? Thanks, -J. Lewis Muir
