Hi list, - and a HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL! - I'm puzzled by md5sums. I've downloaded openSuSE11 (both 32 and 64 bit versions) and openSuSE11.1 (32/64 too). - I get the same odd errors with 11 as with 11.1. This is my situation: I try to verify the md5sum of openSuSE11(i386/32), it should be ed6a5b3feb668866df812b1c2aed9d7f openSUSE-11.0-DVD-i386.iso but using "md5sum openSUSE-11.0-DVD-i386.iso", I get: a38623810009842eeb1542a2052cfc2d openSUSE-11.0-DVD-i386.iso This, of course, is wrong. If I do a "md5sum -c openSUSE-11.0-DVD-i386.iso", I get 500+ lines saying the this or that -rpm file could not be read, general i/o error or so" Now if I burn an ISO DVD, it verifies correctly when doing the "check media" before installation (!). Installation starts fine, but in some cases breaks later on, but not always... I use K3B for burning, it reports a sound md5sum. I downloaded the isos from mirrors and directly from SuSE too. I downloaded from two different locations, albeit to the same PC (my laptop). I stored the received files (during download) onto the harddisk and also onto a USB stick. Same story. As you can tell, I've done quite a few downloads...All the downloaded files yield the same md5sum (using md5sum without the -c flag), never mind what media I store onto. And regardless of wherefrom and my method of downloading. As of now, I'm not really able to install openSuSE11(1) to anything, as I can't seem to get this right. Questions: a) The md5sums listed on the openSuSE web are (of course) correct b) what's the correct and proper way of verifying the md5sums? c) I used wget, firefox directly and a FF-extension called DownThenAll for downloading. What would be your recommendation? And as always, thank you! -- ------------------------------ Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
