Red hat 9 Iso 2

[Portfox]

Has anyone having problems with iso 2 of redhat 9. I have downloaded it abou 4 times from different locations. After burning it onto cd it will fail the cd test and not install.

Help!

Portfox,

I had the same problem. It turns out I had to download it from the official redhat FTP (which took longer). I did a checksum on it before burning it and it worked great! I believe a few mirrors out there have a corrupted version.

Thats a shame, i wonder why they corrupted. I also d/l iso 2 from the ftp.redhat.com and found that to be corrupted as well.
How did you do a checksum before burning?

If you are on windows click on the checksum link and use "checksum.exe fileName.iso" it will take a little while and spit out a sum (you will have to unzip the file, just extract the checksum file). On the FTP you can download the checksum file. If what the program spits out on screen and the one in the file are the same then your ISO should be correct.

I forgot on Linux you would need to do :

$ md5sum fileName.iso
da38e1f3be55a2f4818e53e9a42117cf fileName.iso
$

The bolded part is the sum.

Thanks for that, although one question, who does the checksum file output is data?
I ran the command line c:\checksum.exe shrike-i386-disc2.iso and it went for about a second and produced nothing.

any thoughts?

give it some time! I recall it taking a very long time on my puter in Windows (only a few seconds in Linux).

Did you let it run until it finished?

I let it go but it looks like it executes and them goes back to the prompt.
Its been sitting for about 30 minutes back at the command prompt.
I have it in a cmd screen on XP.
that shouldnt make any difference, i think?

I wouldn't know what to tell you then!! Maybe somebody has other ideas. Maybe you can download another version of checksum.exe by searching for it on google.

Interesting!

I downloaded the ISOs and burnt 'em to CD like normal and then had problems. md5sum on the ISOs came back fine but md5sums of the newly burnt CD's were different.

In the end, I had to do a 1x burn to get them right.

Does that sound like the same problem or does that sound like my burner's on it's way out?
