Thanks for the answer Frans. Is there any chance that this feature
will make it to the Lenny
release. Something like integrity-check which works with Ubuntu.
I played around with the Etch installer a bit and found that as soon
as the CDROM is mounted its
possible to access a console, cd into the /cdrom directory and do a:
md5sum -c md5sum.txt
Maybe a script in initrd.gz that does something similar perhaps?
Sincerely,
Rage Callao
PS. My apologies to Frans for sending this to him privately. I got a bit
trigger happy and clicked on the send button too soon without looking
at the SendTo addresses.
