Hello, I tried too to download today's image, but strangely it's only 22MB big, normally it was 660MB. I tried to copy it to my SD card as I have always done, but when you then launch gparted you get no partitions on it. I checked the md5sum and it's ok, but 22M can't be right, could there be something wrong with the image loaded on the iso tracker ?
