Actually we've been having a long discussion about this. So this was not directed at you.
BTW: frequently end of sector marks get padded out erroneously by the OS. This causes RSYNC and other programs to report correct downloads, but you end up with erroneous MD5 sums. Of course the xfers themselves may be problematic. I downloaded the ISO's under 8.0 using IglooFTP and received identical MD5 sums. I also checked the files directly "-f md5sums.txt". Both were ok. -JMS |-----Original Message----- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Mike Rambo |Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 9:01 AM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: Re: [expert] Corrupted files -RPM | | |"Jose M.
