By way of follow up, I used the same disk and almost brought up the amd
linux box with grml. The problem was, after typing swspeak <cr> after the
system had finished booting I heard the message speechdup.d is not
available sorry. Okay, so the disk integrity isn't there and that was a
wget download too. The speechdup.d package would have been on a disk that
had integrity. So now I'm into a problem in Linux that cuts across
distros. The problem is bad disk images get downloaded and once
downloaded tools like wget will not correct their mistakes. The
bittorrent route is no better either and not all distros are available
using rsync. So what to do? Perhaps I can write a script that takes the
list of file names from the output of the md5sum and perhaps gpg commands
so as to find which files are bad and loops through all of that output and
goes and does an automated transfer preferably through tunneling and with
something like sftp puts the files where they need be when the image is
mounted. Then the "repaired" image can be checked again for
integrity and the process repeated until the disk comes up clean and
complete.
