ISO matching size
Hi,
If I do a "du -ks ." on my Redhat 7.1 CD i get 658150kB but the ISO of 7.1 is 656756kB.
Is there any error or?
Should the size of the CD always match the size of the ISO?
/S

The actual size of the ISO file and the mounted CD-ROM filesystem size reported by du may be different. Again, to be absolutely sure that you'll have a good copy of RedHat is to check the MD5 sums of the ISO files before you burn them.
