Sorry guys if I was not clear. I have copied mysql-4.0.20a-win.zip to my computer. On the downloads page it is suggested that I verify the integrity of the packages that I downloaded. I am trying to fine out how to do this. I first have to unzip the file first. Do I copy the code from MD5 Checksum page? I guess I put the code into the same directory where I unzip the file. To run the md5sum package_name do I run it from the command prompt? Or do I have it all wrong? Thanks Guys. Oh, I am running on a windows xp home edition machine. If that matters.

There is a link right above the downloads for verification of the binary. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/Verifying_Package_Integrity.html The contents of the page @ that URL suggest using GNU Privacy Guard.
