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!

a) of course b) just let k3b do it automatically (when it reads-in an ISO) and visually compare it with a) c) all your methods are correct. If you want additional error-checking, you can use ktorrent with the torrent links; then, when ktorrent downloads the ISO, you right-click on the ISO and select "Check data" from the pop-up menu. d) I'm suspecting your CD/DVD writer may be oldish or a bit incompatible, or maybe the media are not overly compatible with your particular optical drive. In addition, check all k3b settings and verify they're all set to defaults. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
