How exactly did you download the file? What seems to have happened is that the file got unzipped while downloading: $ ls -l initrd* -rw-r--r-- 1 ab ab 10645504 18. Nov 22:55 initrd -rw-r--r-- 1 ab ab 3205673 18. Nov 22:54 initrd.gz $ md5sum initrd* ca838dff73b15963544ea21537ccaa8f initrd 250db6ab320fc5edcecf3ed9d1c185a6 initrd.gz ==> the md5sum of the uncompressed file is exactly what you have... IOW, you've already got the right file -- you just need to gzip it again :) Almut -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
