sorry I didn't completely think out my answer....how do you run md5sum on the
copy? this particular copy is about a week old.
I am running a cable modem so it is only about an hour download for me....and 70
minutes to burn one cd and 35 on the other....I can do again...any suggested site
to download from? if location is important I am in Florida real near Tampa
