Re: Have a question about Debian..
I just downloaded all of the chunks that make up the Debian Binary CD. I also downloaded the MD5SUM.EXE and MD5SUMS files. However, when I use MD5SUM to test the chunks, EVERY single one fails! What are the chances that every chunk is bad?? Is it possible I have downloaded an old version of the MD5SUMS file? Did you download the chunks via ftp in ascii mode? That would certainly screw up every chunk. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
Re: Have a question about Debian..
One possibililty is that the files were downloaded as ASCII files, not binary. Most ftp servers display a message similar to Opening BINARY mode data connection for file_name when they start downloading a file. Ftp servers on UNIX machines usually default to binary, but some ftp servers or clients will default to ASCII. At the ftp prompt enter binary to make sure you get a binary download. Did you download using DOS or Linux? -- _ |_) _ |_ Robert D. Hilliard[EMAIL PROTECTED] |_) (_) |_) Palm City, FL USAPGP Key ID: A8E40EB9 P. D.

A better possibility than that you downloaded in text mode, is that you need to run MD5SUM.EXE in binary mode, e.g. (I think) CMD5SUM -b -c MD5SUMS But I've never used it under DOS or Windows. -- Carey Evans http://home.clear.net.nz/pages/c.evans/ GNU GPL: The Source will be with you... always. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word unsubscribe to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .

Re: Have a question about Debian..
I also ran across this problem when I tried a hand built MD5SUM from the source package on sunsite. Once I replaced it with the Debian copy, the problems went away. Check to see if you have more than one copy of MD5SUM in your path. Steve Mayer [EMAIL PROTECTED] Carey Evans wrote: P. D.
