I have dlded SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD1.iso from 2 different mirrors. Each time the checksum is the same, but does *not* match the published checksum. Is this a known problem?
It is now ;)
[david@bonza scripts]$ cat MD5SUMS 44959bbe1055f1c16bac1e2abcc2d270 SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD1.iso
Odd indeed. The one I downloaded yesterday has the same as yours:
[david@bonza scripts]$ md5sum SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD1.iso 0e7ab1893c357ee0954e951c8cf7bdb1 SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD1.iso
So, it needs someone from SuSE to determine whether it's the ISO or the MD5SUMS file which is wrong.

Here is some additional information I found regarding the checksum issue. It is quoted from the forums.suselinuxsupport.de list: <quote> With regards to paul1974's problem with CD1 (of the 5cd set). IMHO I reckon you'd be ok downloading from any of the official mirrors. I haven't worked out yet why there are 2 different MD5 sums for disc1, but the 2nd MD5 signature showed up at about the same time as this 2.3gb DVD iso. Does your's match this: 0e7ab1893c357ee0954e951c8cf7bdb1 SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD1.iso This above was the orginal MD5 offered on the mirrors before most changed to this: 44959bbe1055f1c16bac1e2abcc2d270 SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD1.iso I've downloaded this disc a couple of times now and always (so far) had the 1st MD5 (0e7-etc....) Did and install and on my sons i386 rig and everythings working great. The only thing it did that I wasn't expecting was an automatic reboot after installing disc1, not sure if this is normall of not. Be interested to learn what MD5 your getting. </quote> -- David C.
