i also saw a release that has keys for each version. Though I dont like that idea to much...
So guys DO I NEED TO DOWNLOAD THE gold ISO 7600.16385 OR is it same with mine(which i downloaded about 8 days ago three part rar) ???
The general consensus (albeit with some exceptions) seems to be the 3 part rar is essentially the same code as the "Gold" untouched version just w/o the bootable part.
I downloaded the new "Gold" version. Of the important files I checked, hashes match the files from the untouched version. So I haven't reinstalled and I'm still using the version I installed from the 3 part rar. Seems fine to me and is running well.
Yeah we used .bif file to just make a bootable ISO.
And you said it is same right with "gold rtm" ? What is your source ?
Comparing certain important file hashes from each version and finding them to match, and also this agrees with what others have found.
I have cheked only 3 part MD5 values. The all 3 part was correct about md5.
But how can i check my os with gold rtm's md5 or hash values ?
Is there a way to check my os that same with gold rtm(i deleted the ISO :S ) ?
Not as far as I know. All you can do is compare hashes of various files from the install media of each version. Like, for example, the big one which is install.wim (iirc).
