I believe that the HP site gives checksums for these downloads. You could do a cksum and verify it against the web or ftp site. The checksum is usually in the readme as well).

Re: Test Depot file

Hi,

swlist will only use the catalog directory of your depot, so it only means that this catalog is present. You could first try a 'tar tvf depot' to see if it can read the file up to the end or even better, swcopy your depot file to an expanded depot directory (no risk to corrupt your system).

Regards.
