[vox-tech] what's up with debian?

[Jeff Newmiller]

Google sez an MD5SUMS file is here: 
http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/multi-arch/iso-cd/

copy on one website to be bad, so repeated downloading might not help.
Do your due diligence.

I would not be surprised about those strings being present... they would 
be delivered if the first-stage boot loader had difficulty.
