[opensuse] 10.3 installer -- Checking media -- "Use -pad option to burn" conflicts with webpage
Hi, During the 10.3 install from a dvd (that carries the iso from http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/10.3/iso/dvd/openSUSE-10.3-GM-DVD-... and was md5 checked and burned in k3b) the installer suggests to check media. Which I do and which fails with wrong checksum. _Maybe_ it fails because of what the installer's help text on the left hand side suggests: To use "-pad" when burning isos to avoid dangling sectors which in turn would mess up md5. This is not mentioned in neither "5. How to proceed" on http://software.opensuse.org/ nor in "Getting help - Burn DVD Image" on http://en.opensuse.org/Download_Help#Burn_the_ISO_Image.28s.29 Which are like the "front door". So if the "use -pad" help from the installer is sound advice then it's a tad late for that, right? I'll file the bug report if someone in the know tells me to.

The iso itself already has some padding sectors. No real point in adding more. Maybe the media _is_ defect? Is your downloaded iso ok (running checkmedia on it)? Steffen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Like I said: the iso was md5 checked in k3b and the sums matched. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

So get rid of the installer's hint after all? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
