Hi!
I downloaded a recent snapshot of the new multi-arch netinst CD ISO image.
I checked the image MD5 checksum and it is OK.
I burned the CD and then tried to check the integrity of its content:
$ mount /cdrom/
$ cd /cdrom/
$ grep -A 4 labeled README.txt
This CD-ROM is labeled
Debian GNU/Linux testing "Etch" - Official Snapshot
Multi-architecture i386/amd64/powerpc NETINST #1 20061228-09:45
$ md5sum -c md5sum.txt
md5sum: MD5 check failed for './md5sum.txt'
$ grep 'md5sum\.txt' md5sum.txt
f9e0046389c212f1efa8b26469f844e9 ./md5sum.txt
$ md5sum ./md5sum.txt
c25ce4f626d23a50f57c83ad214c357b ./md5sum.txt
$ cd
$ eject /cdrom/
It seems that the `md5sum.txt' file includes a line which claims
to report the MD5 checksum of the file itself.
The checksum is obviously incorrect (AFAICT, it could only be correct
if one managed to converge an appropriate iterative procedure...).
I think that `md5sum.txt' MD5 checksum should not be included in
`md5sum.txt' itself...
Actually it seems that it used to be excluded in sarge CDs:
$ mount /cdrom/
$ cd /cdrom/
$ grep -A 3 labeled README.txt
This CD-ROM is labeled
Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 r0a "Sarge" - Official i386 Binary-1
$ md5sum -c md5sum.txt
$ grep 'md5sum\.txt' md5sum.txt
$ cd
$ eject /cdrom/
