Here are a couple of options I use for a single file.
* *md5* checksum
o *Syntax:*
o md5sum FileName or
o md5sum FileName | grep "96b13dbbc9f3bc569ddad9745f64b9cdb43ea9ae"
I copy and paste the checksum to make sure it is accurate.
If I am not grepping the checksum I copy the returned md5sum into an
editor,
then paste a copy of the original undet that so I can compare them a
character at a time.

thanks James. I think the cksum is correct. So with the 'c' flag it
will check each file against the checksums in a text file. I remember
doing that with linuxfromscratch. What if you only have one sum? What
flag should I enter.... well, let's check 'man'. Man says check info
and info doesn't tell me. Is there a way to check one file easily?

The -c flag is for when the file you're putting is a text file
with a bunch of checksums in it. Simply do not use -c.

aI got a good D/L. I think I'm doing it wrong. I d/l the file
and type in:
md5sum -c linuxmint-13-mate-dvd-64bit.iso
and md5sum seems to open the iso and check the files in it. Here is
the output:

What am I doing wrong?
