Download source was uk2.net mirror but the MD5 above looks OK to me.

/var/installer/syslog seems to claim that a user directory was created although it didn't seem to be when the system booted. Finding this I also note the failure to change mode of /etc/passwd to 600. When I checked after finding this it was world readable which I believe is a security issue.
