SEEM TO BE ERRORS ON SOME FEDORA 6 CD's

[Janina Sajka]

For the record, the sha1sums on the Speakup Modified Fedora files check
out. So, if any file doesn't check out at your end, it's some kind of
problem beyond us.

Second, sha1sum replaced md5sum.

Lastly, you don't need the SRPMS, or the rescue or boot iso images to
install. You only need the 5 FC-6 disc iso files.

Read the Installation HOWTO. You'll be doing yourself a favor.

I decided to test all the CD's, and got messages that two through five of the installation CD's had errors, as well as the third and fourth source CD's.  I downloaded the second image again last night and tested it this morning.  I again got a failure message.

When I press the right arrow, it goes into the file; it doesn't bring me to where I can download it, as it does with all the installation and source images.  From what I've read about MD5SUM, I think I'm supposed to have this file (I think one of these is called SHA1SUM) on the hard drive, so that I can use it to check the downloaded images.
