this was covered some time back in the lists, so if you wan greater detail, you may need to search the archives a little bit.
otherwise, as long as it works, the easiest method is md5 /dev/cdrom unfortunately, the consensus at that time is that on certain setups, it may fail with a "unexpected end of file" error or something like that. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, June 13, 2003 19:26 Subject: [newbie] Comparing CDs - whats the best way of doing it? Hi, I am making some backup CDs for some of my data CDs but would like to check that all the files on one CD matches the same on another CD? What's the best way of doing such a comparison? I could run md5 against it but I would have to do it for each individual file - I am guessing there's a better way of doing it. Thanks.
