[Bug 35096] Re: Installer should strongly suggest testing integrity of cd before beginning installation

[Phillip Susi]

The overwhelming majority of the time there is nothing wrong with the
cd, so strongly suggesting that everyone preemptively check it isn't a
good idea.

Title:
  Installer should strongly suggest testing integrity of cd before
  beginning installation

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I tried to install Dapper Flight 5. When installing the base system
  some errors apperared related to checksum, and I couldn't complete the
  installation. As a result, I had formatted my linux partition and grub
  was broken, so I couldn't even use Windows.

  I think the installation program should strongly suggest to test the
  integrity of the cd before doing anything else.

  I had another issue when trying to install: i'm using a Dell laptop,
  and I've got a partition with something like 'Dell system rescue' that
  was already there when I bought the laptop. The installation told me
  that this partition was broken, as it was fat16 and clusters has 1
  byte instead of 2 (or 2 instead of 1, don't remember!). Nothing was
  broken,  but the message was alarming. I've read in the forums someone
  experiencing the same issue, also in a Dell laptop.

  I hope it helps,

  Pablo
