.iso file and several others

[sergiogelli]

I download the version 6 by ktorrent and I got a folder with eight files, one of them is .iso
I believe this .iso file should write to a DVD, is that correct?
And what do I do with the other five files?

You can write that .iso image either to a DVD or preferrably to a USB drive. See the wiki for that: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Installation ... lash_drive

For the other files, the .idx file is an index file, plaintext list of all the packages contained in the iso. the .md5 and .sha1/.sha512 contain checksums so that you can verify the downloaded image and the .gpg files are signed versions of those checksums you can verify their authenticity.
