What command do i issue? === Subject: Re: Red Hat 6.2? From: Wayne Dyer <dwdyer@austin.rr.com> Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2000 16:02:52 -0600 Jason Hirsch wrote: > How do you check an MD5 sum on an image?

Hmmm... the ISO image on mirror.aarnet.edu.au has the right MD5 checksum, but it won't burn properly. Either that, or my CD Burner has turned into a coaster maker. Arrgh. === Subject: Re: Red Hat 6.2? From: Mike Vevea <mike@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu> Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2000 16:44:12 -0500 The iso image is large. I had the same problem, till I switched to 80 minute disks. === Subject: Re: Red Hat 6.2?

From: "Adam Sleight" <adams@linearcorp.com> Date: Wed, 29 Mar 2000 14:36:57 -0800 I downloaded the ISO from duke.edburg.com (sp???) and it burned just fine using gcombust with TDK CD-R 650MB/ 74min cd's. These aren't even the 8x speed or ALL SPEED ones that they are selling now at Costco for $45 for 50 of them. Basically I don't think you need the 80 minute cd's. I've burned (burnt) over 7 or 8 Redhat 6.2 cd's from the ISO image and all of them work just great. Side note: Don't try that partionless install...it takes WAY too long and runs WAY too slow. Of course it said that in the documentation but it didn't capitalize the letters :-( BeOS 5 runs quick though with it's partionless install...so go figure. === Subject: Re: Red Hat 6.2?

The system can now be installed onto a loopback file on a FAT filesystem. This allows users to install Red Hat Linux onto an existing partition rather then having to repartition their system. ===
