I can't win. I just tried downloading the .iso's on a pure Mandrake 8.1
system using ncftp and the checksums still aren't coming up correctly.
This is the checksum I get from the nerdie.org site...
393084953783e54c348eeb837f8c7918 Mandrake82-cd1-inst.i586.iso

This was the checksum I got when I downloaded the file from
ftp.mirror.ac.uk to a FAT32 partition...
5ea309a04700e714291e7ba1c7aa9084 Mandrake82-cd1-inst.i586.iso

This is the checksum I should get according to md5sums.82 I downloaded
from ftp.mirror.ac.uk...
cda56ed1c9e9ace3de44eba1c36069a7 Mandrake82-cd1-inst.i586.iso

Is anyone else getting these kind of screwball results?
