View Full Version : How to fix corrupt LINUX CD-Images

After tedious downloading of a Linux distro (5 CDs, ISO images), when I made a hashcheck, 3 of them failed. In spite of that, I tried to install, and as expected, in the middle of installation, it gave an error message that blablabla.rpm is corrupt and stopped.

Now, my question is whether there is any way to fix/ rebuild those hashfailed ISO images so that I am saved from downloading them again. Because, who knows, may be after downloading them again, the hash will still fail.

(BTW, the FC3 distro from the digit DVD gave me the same problem, the hash in the CD1 failed, and even after downloading the CD1 image afresh, the new CD also failed, although towards the end of the CD, the image from the digit DVD failed near the middle. And by swapping the CDs I managed to install FC3.)

I think u can't repair those CD images!

But if u know that the reported corrupt RPM file is related to which application, then u can simply deselect that application while selecting components in LIST of setup. :D

A.F.A.I.K. re-downloading is you're only option. Use a good download manager like FDM and see that there are no unexpected power interruptions.
