ISO Images corrupt?

seroal

Hi all,

since a long time, I can see, that a few files within the iso images /install/rpm folder are corrupt. Normally all these files should end with .rpm. But not all of them do. I´m wondering, doesn´t this lead to problem at anyone, who uses this image? I already asked sophos to solve this, but they didn´t see any problems...  I always have to rename the files....

 

Didn´t any one else had the same problems?

 

 

Regards

Sebastian

    Sebastian,

    I just reinstalled 9.411 from the software iso using a USB flash drive.

    I had the same problem the first time I created a boot capable USB flash drive.  I think I had used an HP Drive Key program and it truncated the longer filenames in the install directory causing the installation to fail.  I then used rufus-2.12 to create a boot USB drive and I had no problems with any of the file names and the install completed normally.  So I don't think the latest software iso is corrupted.

    I hope this helps.   Cheers, PD

    Hi PD,

     

    well that could be a possible explanation for this. I used "Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.6.1". But when I open the iso with Win10 or 7ZIP the files are looking similar corrupt:

     

    7ZIP:

     

    But I will try it with Rufus, but I think, when the iso contains the faulty files, Rufus will also only be able to use them.

     

    But I will check that...

     

     

    Thank you,

    Sebastian,

    I just checked the 9.411 iso I used and I saw the same truncation when opening the archive using 7zip.  These are also the files where my first install attempt failed. 

     

     

    Therefore I think the filenames are too long for 7zip and some usb boot drive utilities to handle.  Hopefully, rufus-2.12 will work for you as well as it did for my install.   Cheers, PD
