Bungholio : 20/09/02 02:05 AM : Incident created -   Hi, ive d/led the 3 cd image files, but i dont really know how to burn them in nero or adaptec. I've tried File>Burn Image in Nero but i get this error: "The entered block size does not correspond to the image length. The block size may be wrong. Do you want to correct the value or ignore the problem. Well of course i wanna correct the value, but it asks for all these numbers i dont know! Cant i check the lengths with the md5checksums or somethin? I really need help this burning... Thanks for any assistance or guidance, Allan
kbielefe : 20/09/02 02:25 AM : Reply received -   You probably have corrupted or incomplete iso files. The way to check before burning is to download the md5sums in the same directory as the iso images, then run md5sum -c downloaded_sum_filename which checks if the generated sum matches the one on the download. You can download the md5sum application and get full instructions (including alternative methods) at http://www.etree.org/md5com.html

Note: the .md5 files contains the md5 sums and the original filenames: be sure the filenames contained in the files match those you downloaded (if you changed names, the md5sum.exe can't find the corresponding file ...)
