I am trying to verify a copy of a purchased RHL 7.3 cd set. I burned the first cd and it appears to work (boots up ok anyway) but I can't seem to verify the md5 sum and get a number I have any where elase so I am assuming that there is a problem. If I try to verify the origianl disk against the iso checksum from the redhat site I don't get the same number either.
what am I doing wrong? the script that I am using to make the copy is : #!/bin/bash # Copy a data CD directly from one drive to another. # used on compaq2 SPEED=4 WRITER=1,4,0 #scsi cdrom. run cdrecord -scanbus if this is not correct READER=/dev/cdrom cdrecord -isosize -v dev=$WRITER speed=$SPEED $READER the command I am running to calculate the md5sum is : dd if=/dev/cdrom bs=2048 count=329956 | md5sum not sure where I got the count. I found the reference in the archives. is there some magic to md5suming cds? diff -r /mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrw returns nothing after about 10 minutes or so. I am assumming that the copies are actually OK. Just wondering about the cds TIA Bret -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@;redhat.com?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
