Recently, I got my hands on version 0.2 of Cobind, a Linux lite desktop, based on Red Hat/Fedora Core 1, from a software company in Pittsburgh. Not yet in general release, Cobind is a one disc wonder.

It has been reported here that various mirrors have beta2 ready for download.
At great expense I have done 3 downloads and no .iso checksummed to the value in the .md5 on the same server (they all agree on the content) and none made a CD that I could install from.
Searching the Cobind website I found a link about how to burn CDs from ISOs. It didn't inspire any confidence as it said that (using Nero) you should ignore the warning about wrong block size. That is bad advice. ISOs should all use 2048 blocksize and should be a multiple of 2048 in size.
Even if the ISO builder is careless the md5 check should agree.
Cobind does neither. I suggest caution until they get their act together. Perhaps they need the $10 sales to do it properly?
sadly.....
