I have downloaded the entire Linux 9.3 CDs (5 of em) and am trying to install it on a P III 512 ram. After downloading, I checked each ISO with MD5SUMS, and all were fine. When I booted with the first CD in, I checked the media (which was strongly reccomended), and MD5SUMS were no identical, and the test failed. I decided to continue nevertheless, since I had checked the MD5s after downloading, they should be fine. After half a minuter or so after installation began, I had a file which couldn't install, and I had to abort installation. A) If my CD is faulty, that would be weird, since it was still in the case unopened. B) If I have to burn another CD with the 1rst part of the install, how can I be sure MD5SUMS will match, because I wouldn't like to waste another CD. BTW, I burned each ISO using MagicISO.


Later...

I tried to burn another CD of the first part of the installation at 8x thinking it could be a too fast speed the first time (it was at 52x), but when I tried to install, I checked the media again and MD5SUMS didn't work. HOW DO I GET IT TO WORK??

How are you burning them..? Make sure that you're using this (http://www.linuxiso.org/viewdoc.php/howtoburn.html) procedure.

I actually saw similar symptoms in my install, now that you mention it.

The weird thing is that I wrote down the errant packages, clicked on 'skip' and then went back and installed them through YaST with no issues???

I'm on a Celeron 900MHz with 256MB RAM
