Hmmm... it appears that the web pages need cleaning up... my posts bounced
when sent to the address I found on one of the pages:

A simple combination of: head, tail, ftp(resume) and cat; though for a formal
utility, I might use split/cat...
I'm not sure of the best way to do this; but it would be great to have an
iso-fetch utility that would do this automatically. Alternatively, the iso
images could be in bite-sized chunks with separate md5sums,

Thanks! Mine reads:
815718a5db2e73bf3c6dd1e9271d27c0 - (0-100) OK
45920c945727d98ab7313537df5c1841 - (end-100) bad
9afaa7a5e4bca17f6e2453ffe71ea7db - (0-200) OK
053e876f2a0e2a4fe6bac5d22aab75ce - (end-200) bad
ae82920c076056249ac867772a9cad93 - (0-300) OK
05c4580de88014aaeeeb7f13a58de509 - (end-300) bad
So it appears that my problem is in the last 100MB... FYI: if all had been OK,
the problem would have been in the middle 117912320 bytes. :)
If you wouldn't mind one more, I could nail it down to a very managable 1MB
chunk... :^)
chunk=1000000
tail -100000000 hydrogen2-inst.sparc.iso | split --bytes=${chunk} - out
for f in out*
do
md5sum ${f}
done
rm out*
In fact, this kinda suggests that placing an "md5sums.1MB" file on the server
could be useful with simple instructions on using it...
At 56KB, this will save me 3 days of download and unbearable link performance.
Thanks,
Pierre
