Description Edward 2023-05-16 01:17:26 CEST 
Description of problem:

Downloaded the netinstall image via mageia.org,.iso came from mirror.math.princeton.edu and the md5sum does not match what is displayed on the download page for it. The md5sum coming back is completely different, from repeated downloads. The actual md5sum below came from two separate downloads.


From web page:

$ # You can also compare checksum directly from this web page without checksum file
$ md5sum Mageia-Cauldron-netinstall-nonfree-x86_64.iso
abd438451c0bc56aa86d66f37aa3e083  Mageia-Cauldron-netinstall-nonfree-x86_64.iso 


From downloads:

~/Downloads$ md5sum Mageia-Cauldron-netinstall-nonfree-x86_64.iso
37a944ce94fcb8943c8fb0b90af929d5  Mageia-Cauldron-netinstall-nonfree-x86_64.iso


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

As cauldron user, please use the different communication channels to gather informations. This topic was already discussed last year:

Download the image and the checksum files directly from the same mirror. They match...
https://ftp-stud.hs-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/Mageia/distrib/cauldron/x86_64/install/images/

As the cauldron images changed really fast, the information on the website can't hold the same pace...

Downloaded from princeton, the iso and md5 file into the same directory.
$ md5sum -c Mageia-Cauldron-netinstall-x86_64.iso.md5
Mageia-Cauldron-netinstall-x86_64.iso: OK
$ cat Mageia-Cauldron-netinstall-x86_64.iso.md5

Closing as invalid.
