Hi.
I know you've heard about this problem from others already, but none of
the DVD images I have downloaded from
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/i386/ have passed the
md5 checksum.
I have not noticed this problem here. However, I only get DVD images
every several months.
I have also tried
booting off of them and trying the self analysis option and that gives
the result that these DVDs are corrupt.
I think that's the same test.
It seems to only
happen with the DVD version of Debian, because the CD version passed the
MD5 test.
It could be a size problem ... what kind of file system are you
using?
This is not a
problem of my DVD burner burning improperly because I never even burn the
images, I emulate them with DaemonTools and boot off of them with
"VMware Workstation", a virtual machine program.
Well ... could be a problem with Daemon Tools or VMware workstation. The
demo at the last Linux
user group was done with VMware ... although he used small images
....
Is there a solution
to this problem of getting corrupt DVD images when I download
them?
I get mine with jigdo.
I have tried
downloading with the built in download manager in firefox, with
"Internet Download Accelerator"
"Internet Download Accelerator" -- *is*
their something like this in Linux?
and with Azureus as a
torrent, and they all appear to be corrupt. If you know of a better way
to download them, that would make sure the images are not corrupt, or if
you know what the problem might be, please let me know.
My guess (you didn't say ...) is that you're running Windows or
Color Console (?) with a FAT-32
file system ... and you're not seeing the error messages through the
layers of software you
have running.
You *are* on kernel 2.6 ? Right?
