There was discussion of this on Cooker. There was a transmission
error uploading hydrogen3 betas and hydrogen3-ext.iso had some
rpm files filled to proper length with nulls. This was later
corrected but there are still people who downloaded the early one
and did not get the update. If you have an early
hydrogen3-ext.iso, it is NOT the same as helium. The distro
didn't change but the upload did.
