+I really dont get what you mean, no one modified the .iso image or its
+contents, and what i said is that the packages with long filenames
+were modified, the end of the packages names didnt appear., so instead
+appearing in the USB pen disk:
+
+telepathy-kde-common-internals-translations-0.3.0-1.mga2.noarch.rpm
+vboxadditions-kernel-3.3.6-desktop-2.mga2-4.1.12-5.mga2.x86_64.rpm
+vboxadditions-kernel-3.3.6-netbook-2.mga2-4.1.12-5.mga2.x86_64.rpm
+
+it was appearing:
+
+telepathy-kde-common-internals-translations-0.3.0-1.mga2.noar
+vboxadditions-kernel-3.3.6-desktop-2.mga2-4.1.12-5.mga2.x86
+vboxadditions-kernel-3.3.6-netbook-2.mga2-4.1.12-5.mga2.x86
+
+and after i renamed the packages to its original names the install went ok.
