OK.... I see what you are saying. But we read.....

****
MD5 Sums are 32 byte character strings that are the result of running the MD5 sum program against a particular file. Since any difference between two files results in two different strings, MD5's can be used to determine that the file or iso you downloaded is a bit-for-bit copy of the remote file or iso.
****

So we both get the same md5sum for the image....

cd2ca5eb1c9c014844895b93339c0291

But the published string is..

0cd2ca5eb1c9c14844895b93339c291

which has 31 characters (30 without the leaded zero).

So........ can this be corrected?

Gordo.
