There's another thread going on here about problems upgrading to RedHat
7.0 with CDs burned from the .iso images provided by RedHat. I've
experienced this problem too. I have been unable to get the md5
checksum on my downloaded image to match the values given by RedHat in
the accompanying MD5SUM file. If I mount the iso image via the loopback
device, the directory structure appears OK, but some (not all) of the
text files are garbage, and NONE of the rpms are recognized as valid rpm
files.

So I was wondering: Could anyone confirm that you have in fact been
able to download the CD image files, burn them to a CD, and successfully
install/upgrade RedHat 7.0?

Thanks in advance,

Sort of. I have managed to download the 2 iso files and burn them, booted
from the CD and the graphical install went fine first time (i didn't try to
upgrade - just told the installer to re-format the old RH 6.2 partition).
Linux boots fine, but I am having display problems which make the system
unusable with a GUI. Something to do with XFree86 4 and my viper II card i
think. command line works fine though.

I downloaded the two ISO images from ftp.redhat.com and burned them to CD
ok. I ran the upgrade yesterday and it went off without a hitch. I am
running a PPro-200 with 80MB RAM and a 15GB IDE HDD.

I downloaded the iso 6 times from different mirrors and haven't been able to
get the md5sum to match. I went ahead and burned the cd anyway but during
the install of packages phase it died half way through and just sat there.
So then I burned another with an image from a different site and the same
thing happened only this time it died about a third of the way through the
package installation? Not sure if its just my machine locking up (though
this has never happened on an install before) or the iso images are corrupt?

Bad downloads.. If your using Bulletproof FTP or something perhaps?
either way My RH6.2 did the same thing. The md5sums didn't match
either.
I guess You'll have to keep trying until they match.

Yes. I downloaded directly from RedHat's site two nights ago, at
2 or 3 in the morning (and still, it was a miracle that I could
connect!), and the files was ok (the md5sum matched, and I did
install successfully -- well, everything seems fine, at least).

Dunno I bought mine from lsl.com for 3 bucks.
I downloaded 6.2 though and on ISDN that took 1 1/2 days. But it at
least would upgrade 6.0 when it didn't install 6.2 (I was lucky)

I downloaded the two main ISO's from Redhat twice, from a .gov site once and
from proaxd (or something). I tried the ISO's with three different writers
on win2k and win98. None of the ISO's gave any errors, and none of them
ever worked. No boot, not from boot floppy, can't look at them on a windows
system - nothing.

I will try to FTP down the entire mess and do an FTP install later on, or do
an FTP install over cable. Or buy it retail to get some CD's that work.
