The simplest way of checking the files post-burn is to get a manifest list with MD5 sums for each file from your distro and run the following:
md5sum -c <filename> | less The -c argument tells md5sum to test against the given list. For example, here is the list for Slackware: ftp://sunsite.ualberta.ca/pub/Linux/slackware/slackware-current/CHECKSUMS.md5 Curtis On Wed, 2004-01-21 at 10:51, Jason Louie wrote: > Has anyone been able to verify the *burned* copy of the ISO?
