[opensuse] MD5SUM on GM
Hi, Just downloaded the x86_64 iso for 10.2 GM, the checksum matches the iso image but if i burn it and do a "md5sum /dev/sr0" i get a different checksum. Tried also the media test option within the installation and it returns "Aceptar" in a bad spanish (wrong word at least) but i assume it means it was OK. So, should i proceed anyway?

Sorry, it should read 10.3 GM. Regards, Ciro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Why 10.2, instead of 10.3? -- Use OpenOffice.org http://www.openoffice.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Probably yes. The built-in test tests the actual image length and gives you the poor-Spanish OK. (You can help the translation team :) When you apply md5sum directly to the device you may get a different result because of padding added to the end of the image in the media. This is normal and it does not mean the image on the media is bad. Check here for a way to check correctly the image from the CD/DVD: http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/CdromMd5sumsAfterBurning The built-in test and burners, such as K3b, do the test properly. (Don't forget to wait for K3b to complete calculating the md5sum of the image every time before starting to burn, otherwise it will give you an error even if the image is good.) -- Carlos FL Who is General Failure, and why is he reading my disk? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Well, the second copy has the same checksum... I'll try the method described on that page. Thanks! Ciro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
