I actually rendered it moot by burning on to gold cd's evidently the silver ones just aren't iso-metric ;-) However, I am checking just for thoroughness' sake! -- pax -m-

[Cooker] MD5 sums and RC1
I burnt an ISO of rc1 today, and it won't install. I haven't checked the md5 sum of the file(s) cuz man md5 doesn't make very much sense to me however, the filesize is 651548K for #1 and 651722K for #2. How do I use md5 sum check? -- pax -m-

michael wrote: How do I use md5 sum check? 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! Randy Kramer

How do I use md5 sum check?

Woo's Wierd Linux Trick #000.00.1 (of 1):
1) Download the md5sum file, which is plain ascii text.
Why not: md5sum -c md5sum_file
Done; no need for the rest...
2) From a console do: #md5sum {whatever.iso} . It takes a while to calculate,
so in the meantime:
3) Open the md5sum text file with the Text Editor
4) Place a CR or two just below the line in md5sum where it says:
"whatever.iso" {sums}
5)Copy and paste the result from the console immediately below this line.
If all the characters match up, your download is OK.
NB: I do it this way, because
1) I usually run my 17" monitor at 1024 x 768
2) I'm not a programmer
3) I'm *terrible* at math, and last but not least...
4) I'm a dummy who doesn't want to use *any* Microsoft stuff: hardware or
software.
. not necessarily in that order ...
cheers, saluti, salutations ...
