If you are talking about version 26 of the *unofficial* LordSutch.com ISOLINUX test image/mini-ISO for Debian 3.0, please carry on reading. > file:/instmnt/pool/main/b/bash/bash_2.05a-11_i386.deb > was corrupt" > [snapped] > I'm 99% sure the .iso file was downloaded exactly as > it was on the > server, [snapped] You might want to cast your 1% doubt on error during download. That's why jigdo is such a good idea. md5sum your iso image to see if it match the published md5sum.txt from the same place to obtain your raw/iso file <http://www.phy.olemiss.edu/debian-cd/md5sum.txt> which should read: 1ebbcd163d092f458bc26cb9cfec241d 194543616 woody-i386-1.raw Alternatively, you may md5sum only that .deb package in question. Mount your CD-R and cd to it's root. Do this: md5sum ./pool/main/b/bash/bash_2.05a-11_i386.deb If you don't get this: a6048e7a8a3901f2621106d540fce61f ./pool/main/b/bash/bash_2.05a-11_i386.deb you might want to forget about your 99% certainty and investigate into this one in a hundred changes.
