I ran the md5sum on it and it wasn't correct. I'm wondering if the problem is that I am downloading to a windows box and then transferring it to a linux box for netbooting? would this cause problems with the checksums? The md5sum is for the .gz file: [root@beast current]# md5sum /mnt/parisc/palinux-0.9.2.iso.gz 45b3f776f5e702b02a9e02cd10358c99 /mnt/parisc/palinux-0.9.2.iso.gz [root@beast current]# md5sum /mnt/parisc/palinux-0.9.2-install.iso.gz a7819f5fc2f5418bcdcb1de3068baade /mnt/parisc/palinux-0.9.2-install.iso.gz As they are gzipped files, "gzip -tv " would also verify that they downloaded correctly. I have known some browsers 'helpfully' uncompress .gz during download. If you only have the uncompressed versions the sums should be: [root@beast current]# zcat /mnt/parisc/palinux-0.9.2.iso.gz | md5sum b7f13d7175744e2d204a738f2ab32bc2 - [root@beast current]# zcat /mnt/parisc/palinux-0.9.2-install.iso.gz | md5sum c7e3f1312ea387a27b7ec3b278850ac0 - Richard
