[Quantian-general] MD5SUM errors

[M. Edward (Ed) Borasky]

Interestingly enough, the way I stumbled on this solution was to reboot 
after the kernel panic and hit "F2" and "F3" to see what the boot 
options were. I saw "knoppix testcd" to test the integrity of the burn, 
and went for it. Surprisingly enough, everything came up roses. :)

Dirk, is it expected behavior to require the user to type in something 
at the boot prompt? My recollection is that Knoppix and its derivatives 
come up with "sensible defaults" if you just hit "Enter" or if you let 
it time out. I haven't done much with Knoppix 4.0.2 yet; I use Knoppix 
as a rescue CD at work and 3.6 boots just fine on all of our systems. :)
