[Centos] Getting burned ISO's to pass mediacheck.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I'm pretty sure we should just prepad the ISO's with 300KB worth of zeroes 
before calcing their md5sums and distributing them, I'll check whether 
this works (what's a CD worth? 30cents?) in a moment and report back.
If this only passes mediacheck (all reports are it should) then this will 
eliminate _all_ non-badburner and bad-media related burn errors (some 95% 
I'd say) and save a lot of trouble for a lot of people (ie I wasted a CD 
and 10 minutes burning the 4 centos4 cd's).

Cheers,
MaZe.
