Question Questions RE: MDk 92 Discovery, Download, Power Pack Editions


Hello to all,

I have a few questions:

I grabbed the Download Ed via http with the help of Stephane Alexandre (thanks). I later discovered the other two editions existed. So:

(1) - What are the differences between the three editions?

After discovering the other editions I upgraded to Silver since it was cheap. I grabbed what I *think* is the power pack first 3 CD iso's. This was grabbed via Bit-Torrent. Again thanks Stephane it worked at home. The names of the files that I downloaded begin with "MandrakeLinux-9.2-03-Install". So:

(2) - What is on the first 3 CD iso's that I downloaded?

(3) - What is on the last 4 CD's that I are not available for download?

After the Bit-Torrent DL session I went back to the MDK Club article "Mandrake 9.2 isos with BitTorrent - all the answers for the problems". At the bottom the author offers what looks like MD5 checksum file entries. I copied & saved them to a text file and ran md5sum -c against it. Here is the output of md5sum:

G:\Mandrakev9.2\PowerPack>md5sum -c mdk92.md5
md5sum: mdk92.md5: no properly formatted MD5 checksum lines found

I wanted to try verifying the iso's downloaded via http but a md5 file wasn't available for download and the file names are different. I assume the file contents are different based on other Club articles. So:

(4) - Does anyone have an URL to get a checksum file for the standard level members, and a checksum file for the silver level members (P-Pack 1st 3CD iso's).

You get more commerical applications. All the info you seek is at Mandrake's website.

Are you using the correct syntax with the md5sum application?
