 Hum, the MD5 link came up 404. Never done that before.

 Weird.
 The last ISO I downloaded (a couple of days ago) has the
following checksums:

MD5: 9F617FD4573CAAC2DEFC69017DB4234C
SHA-1: D7B6B15E1DBA821E89A439B962357214DADF0995
SHA-256:
DBDA178E1CD89DBC47E8B7304A1AF5B9F52B7D8BC8DA7DD25FAC080E8C60E4CE

 Anyone confirm those numbers ?

Opening the ISO with 7-Zip:

krd_bases_timestamp.txt is 201805170648

 Which is strange, because the previous version always had the
latest signatures. This one apparently needs updating before use.

PS alt.comp.anti-virus added, where it's more appropriate.
