[plug] Mandrake 7.1 install (was RH Upgrade / X problem)

[de Vries, Arie]

Did a "md5sum" on both iso's - OK
So attempted install again but this time selected automated instead of
custom and hey presto no prob's.
Leon, thanks for your offer but not required.
Regards, Arie de Vries.

If you look in that directory, you will see a file
"md5sums-7.1" and if you look inside that file you will see the line
644c64f905e4db4f80ce4c419548f1d4  mandrake71-inst.iso

If you now run the command "md5sum mandrake71-inst.iso" it should provide
the same number.
If it does, you've downloaded the file correctly. If it doesn't, you
haven't.

Always a good thing to check the md5sums whenever you have downloaded
anything, if they are available.
