Downloaded the 11.2 KDE LiveCD. md5 is correct. Burned to disc. Booted up and selected the media check option.
media: CD1
size: 694182 kB
pad: 300 kB
check: 100%
check: md5sum okay
md5: 586c05e67772f53ac33177ae9941d04e
When I did a media check with the 11.1 live cd the outputted md5 hash was the same as the iso image that I downloaded. This one’s different. Thinking the burning process went wrong I did it again, same result. Having remembered a post by oldcpu describing how to check the integrity of a disc I did some more checking.
$ md5sum /dev/sr0
9313767747ac5dc326a45ab6585bbf45 /dev/sr0
This is correct.
$ isoinfo -i /dev/sr0 -d

Not correct. But it was interesting that the md5 hash was the same as that reported by the media check. I also noticed a difference in size between the resulting iso file and the downloaded iso file of 92160 bytes. Since 1 record is 2048 bytes, that’s a difference of 45 records. Add that to 347091 and the volume size should be 347136 records. Out of curiosity I reran the dd command using a count of 347138 (deliberately adding 2 more records just to see what will happen).

Which is correct! Not that it’s a big deal, just thought I’d mention it.
btw, 11.2 looks real good! I was fooling around with it a bit and I reeaaalllly like it. Only problems I noticed so far were that “see through” effect thing similar to item 1 on a list within this post, and the whole system froze on me one time while I was repeatedly fooling around with the KNetworkManager. Anyway, good work and a round of applause to the whole openSUSE community. Nice job!
