Using FTP sites, I downloaded all 3 RPM ISOs 3 times,
and none matched the md5sums. The 4th time I downloaded
directly from Red Hat's Web page (which, still sends you
to an FTP site, I realize), and all 3 matched!
The whole process spanned days, even by cable. Whatever...

My FTP client knows they're binary. I checked that.
Odd part is I havee never had an issue with Red Hat
ISOs in the past. Been downloading ISOs since 5.x.
Not necessarily from the Red Hat site, but I am
wondering if I should try the Red Hat site. Ive
written the CDs DAO and TAO. To no avail. Downloaded
ISOs from THREE sites now. Something is definately
odd.

Linux is just smart enough to read it. IIRC VFAT=FAT32.

downloading and burning the GDs on a Windows box.
So download the iso's in binary mode from an ftp
site that you trust. Since I run ftp.shuttleamerica.com
I can tell you for sure that the md5sums on the iso's
there are correct. The windoze ftp client needs to be told
to do the downloads in binary mode. Otherwise it thinks
they are text files and will corrupt them every time.
HTH,
