I wonder if anyone on the list can give me some advice about
downloading ISO images to burn.
Specifically, I am downloading the ISO image for redhat 6.2 on SPARC.
I have downloaded this image both from linuxiso and from the tc-lug
site.
I have to download it on a Windows NT box, but have taken the
precaution of downloading it both using Internet Exploder and using
ftp from cygwin.
No matter what I do, I consistently see the following checksum:
5edc291f205ed9ba67a50d877499d479 redhat-6.2-sparc.iso
5edc291f205ed9ba67a50d877499d479 zoot-sparc.iso
Sadly, this does not agree with the advertised checksum:
98c28bb250a3ce6a923a3c3db3906b37 zoot-sparc.iso
So, my question is the following:
1. Is there something about NT that is causing me to download
inaccurately? That seems unlikely, since I get the same result
using ftp through cygwin, where I could be sure that the copy was
binary mode and that Microsoft wasn't doing something "helpful"
they didn't tell me about.
2. Could this be a problem with md5sum on Windows NT (cygwin), so
that the image is OK, but the checksum is computed in some deviant
way?
Thanks!
