Hello Geoffrey, Tuesday, June 25, 2002, 1:59:19 PM, you textually orated:
GL> Ok, I wrote before about problems with the cds, that it seemed that the GL> cds were being read incorrectly or that they were damaged in some way. GL> And I was told to use the command switch "linux mediacheck", which I did GL> to all 3 CDs... THEY PASSED This time the CD was read but when it came GL> to installing one of the rpms I was told that the file is dammaged or GL> corrupt and the documentation on the 2nd cd the whole installation GL> crashed.

I have seen strange media problems when I've burned ISOs and then stuck them in other machines to install. The problem is that not all CD-ROM drives are created equal and if you burn at a high speed (over 2x) it can sometimes not be easily read by the drive. It can also be quite sporadic. If the ISOs you have(on your hard drive) pass MD5 tests they are good, period. If they then fail to be read properly, once on CD, by a different machine (or perhaps the same one) try burning them at a slower speed (1x is painfully slow but can be read by anything) and see if it helps. If you have your ISOs in windows and don't already have an md5 utility, you can get one here... http://www.iay.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/threel/tech/tools/dos/md5.exe The proper MD5 sums are available where you got the ISOs. Have fun, -- _________________________________________________________________ Brian Ashe CTO [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dee-Web Software Services, LLC. http://www.dee-web.com/ ----------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
