Just run:
md5sum <filename>
(for example, md5sum mandrakefreq-i586-20010316.iso)
After churning for a while, it will spit out a string of numbers and
letters. Compare that to the string of numbers and letters in the file
containing the "official" md5sum (for the above, it is
mandrakefreq.md5sum).
If they match, the files are identical -- if not, there is a problem.
There are automatic ways of checking the numbers, but the string is not
that long, and this first approach helps you understand what's going on.
Hope this helps!
