Md5sums critical or not ??

Raid762 · #1 25th Apr 03, 05:38 AM

I have just finished downloading Mandrake 9.1 and done the md5 check.
my first ISO has come up with a different md5sum than the check file suggests.
So as I had already burnt the cd I ran the MS crc checker on the disk and it came up with no errors.
Does this mean that all files may be intact and it is safe to Install from this cd.
I dont really want to download again (56K)

So should I take a chance.??

i think when you are installing it will let ask if you want to check the CD's, let it run through that and that should be able to tell you if the cd's are fine or not

Well the install worked , no errors during install so I couldn't have lost anything critical . Now to have a play around and see if I can break it

You'll love Mandrake 9.1, but I like Xandros better.
