i just (took for ever actually) downloaded the two isos for 7.1, the md5sums check out for both, after burning using xcdroast and verifying the burnt image to be the same as the downloaded iso and double checking the md5sum of the iso to be sure, there is still a discrepency between the actual md5sum of the cdrom.img and the one quoted, this probably explains whay installing from a floppy made from this image falls over, but i can't see how this can be unless mandrake made an iso with a faulty floppy image in it. any ideas, suggestions? the version file in the root of the burnt cdrom reads 'Linux-Mandrake Helium 20000517' bascule
