Hello Now that the 9.2 beta cd's are out, I'm busily downloading them, and burning my own ISOs for the first time :) (well, I did burn 9.1 and that was a disastrous install).
Anyway, I get 'input/output error' at the end of the first ISO if I try to 'md5sum /dev/cdrom' or dd the disk over into a file for comparison purposes. After dding the first ISO to another file, its size is roughly 1 or 2 K less than the ISO I downloaded. The md5sum of the first ISO matches the ones published, so at least the ISO is a good one. I'm leery, based on my experiences, to try booting this ISO for fear that something got lost. I used 'cdrecord -dev=1,2,0 -data -speed 4 <iso-image-name> and no errors from cdrecord. The burned CD seems to mount fine. If the last few K are not crucial -- well, let's not go there for now, since the previous install from burned 9.1 media just crashed the system hard practically at the tail end of the install, after completing all the steps. I guess one could loopback mount both copies and do a recursive diff. For now, should I just try another cd? Or is there something in that cdrecord I'm not doing and I should? -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
