FC3-i386-disc2.iso

Tue Jan 4 06:51:20 UTC 2005

Hi,

Some of the mirror sites seems as if they did not downloaded the ISO files 
correctly. The mirror site where I downloaded my ISO'd had different sizes 
from the one at RedHat. It is also better to check that the size of the file 
you are downloading has the same size as the one at Redhat.

I learnt the hardway as well, after wasting a lot of time, CD's and bandwidth.
