Verify the MD5 checksum of the downloaded ISO images prior to burning them to disc. 2. Verify the MD5 checksums of the burnt discs prior to using them. 3. Do not --force install packages which are corrupted. 4. Download the ISO images again until you have good copies. Use rsync/ftp/http protocols, whatever works best for you. 5. When you want to send a new message to the mailing-list, do not reply to an arbitrary one. Instead, compose a new one which doesn't disturb the threading for us readers. Replies contain thread management information in the message headers. --
