Mandrake 10.1

[earthboundjeff]

Hello:
I am trying to install mandrake linux version 10.1, the only problem is after i have set all of the partitions an error occurs. The exact error message is:
An error ocurred
getAndSaveFile (/mnt/var/lib/urpmi/hdlist.installationCD2(x86)
(cdrom2).cz): No such file or directory.

I have tried many things to fix it but cannot figure it out.

Did you download the disks? If so did you check the downloaded file's integraty by checking its md5sum? Did you burn the cd at a slower speed like 16x?

The only problem is i can't figure out md5sum.

The only problem is i can't figure out md5sum.

What operating system are you using?

Linux: go to a terminal and type

md5sum /path/to/file

it will spit out some numbers/letters and these should match a md5sum file that will be on the same page as you download from.

Windows: Use a program like http://www.fastsum.com/, and it will spit out a number, and check that it is the same as the number on the page you downloaded.

If the numbers/letters are different from the download site you have a corupted download, and will have to download again.

I hope this helps

I actually have one more question, after i check the sum and get a number what other number to i compare the number I got with?

[dylunio]

From the page were you downloaded from, when downloading it usualy looks like

gogolinux.iso 1000MB
gogolinux.iso.md5 1kb

open the one ending with md5 and you will be given the number it should be.

I'm having another problem, I burned the disks, checked sums, and i even burned it at a slow rate, however, i'm still having the exact same problem.

[dylunio]

Hmm, this is strange, are there any other computers you can check the disks on?

I could try on my moms laptop if she will let me. Why?
