Stuart on your root terminal type
md5sum
does this do anything? if so then md5sum utility is installed and the
cd's installer source (auto run so to speak) is just buggered in all
honesty, if not, use the mandriva (i think you use, right?)
update/package manager to install md5.
if you encounter any probs feel free to post them back to me

 Hi Stuart.  I'm afraid that this one is out of my league :-(
sorry.
 However, I can hopefully point you in the right direction :-)  Try
 going onto the magazine's website and onto the forums.  You should be
 able to get somebody who knows about the problem on there.
 Is it Linux Format magazine?  They've got PC Linux on their cover disk
 (well, internal now) this month.  Mine's just come in the post.  If it
 is then the forums are excellent.  If it isn't then you could always
 still try them as they are very good.
