Red Hat Reply-To: In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; from [EMAIL PROTECTED] on Fri, Mar 31, 2000 at 01:57:05AM -0500 Except by reading this list (as is my faithful wont), I'd not have thought to do the md5sum check. I had, however, fully read the Red Hat instructions on downloading and burning. There is no mention of this issue therein. I note that I downloaded three different times (God Bless my connection ;) before getting a true copy (which I've burnt tonight and will upgrade tomorrow). Query whether some problems people have with upgrades/new installs may be related to working with a corrupted iso file? Further, wouldn't it be a great idea for Red Hat to add this to their "How To Download Red Hat Linux 6.2" document? John On 03/31/00, 01:57:05AM -0500, John P. Verel wrote: > And this time...sucess!
