/images/rescue.img latest date is May 2.  This img file is still a
number of blocks short of a full 2880 block floppy disk.   This makes
it impossible to perform diff or md5sum to compare your floppy with
its image file, or to verify against its line in the MD5SUM file
because of potential unpredictable garbage at the end, which is
included in the md5sum.   All the other img files are the correct
length.

It is easy to fix this longstanding sore - do a full format of a
floppy, dd rescue.img to it, then dd back again from the floppy
specifying 2880 0.5KB blocks.

Please. Mandrake people, do this and get it right?
