Haven't gotten any response from Mandrake after filing a bug
report, but I confirmed by talking to someone else on this list
that the 3c753fa01628fd8deeccbbdf1e4524e8 digest is for an older
iso image. They changed the iso image on February 5, and did not
change the md5sum file. Using an image with the message digest
of 6f01a2df94f8f39d6c73245e9bc87ada, I installed Mandrake, and
have been actively using the CD for a week or two with no sign of
trouble. I think the image is fine.
later,
