Hi, trying to get our mails in sync again. We seem to have reached consensus in our understanding of the problem.

This suspect can be considered to have confessed. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As for a better message from Integrity Check: I find in the ISO in file /install.amd/initrd.gz the lines: "The file ${FILE} failed the MD5 checksum verification. Your installation" "media or this file may have been corrupted." But i failed to find these texts in debian-cd or debian-installer Even searching for just "corrupted" yields only a remark in debian-cd. Does any of the bystanders know from what package this message text stems ? Have a nice day :) Thomas
