Hi,
trying to get our mails in sync again. We seem to have reached consensus
in our understanding of the problem.

This explains the MS-Windows file.

So the Thinkpad firmwares are exonerated.

This suspect can be considered to have confessed.

As for a better message from Integrity Check:
I find in the ISO in file /install.amd/initrd.gz the lines:
"The file ${FILE} failed the MD5 checksum verification. Your installation"
"media or this file may have been corrupted."
But i failed to find these texts in debian-cd or debian-installer
Even searching for just "corrupted" yields only a remark in debian-cd.
Does any of the bystanders know from what package this message text stems ?
Have a nice day :)
Thomas
