That depends on WHY he's wanting to verify it. Either he's checking to see that the download is complete and correct or he's checking that what's he's downloaded is what Debian provided. It's entirely possible for someone to upload a malicious ISO that runs correctly, yet installs a backdoor (see, for example, the recent news about phpMyAdmin). signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Don't you have a burning software that will show the MD5sum of the ISO? If so, simply compare the sum with sum from the http links without software. Hi Ralf, Yes I do have software on windows called winmd5sum that does all this automatically using a different process. The Cd Burner method you mention is also another way. I will look into that. Also I discovered there are many different ways to verify that a downloaded file is error free. Using the program md5sum.exe is just one of many different methods using the command line. I simply wanted to learn this particular method, that's all. Here is what I did - Download a program to check MD5SUM on Windows: http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/md5sums/ - I extracted the zip file into c:\md5sum on my system. - I downloaded a netinstall image from http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.5/i386/iso-cd/ debian-6.0.5-i386-netinst.iso - Also there was a file called MD5SUMS.txt, I download that also. Both the iso and MD5SUMS.txt file are in my download directory. (In this case c:\Users\testusr\Downloads) - I ran md5sum.exe on the ISO: c:\md5sum\md5sum.exe -u c:\Users\testusr\Downloads\debian-6.0.5-i386-netinst.iso Note: I used the -u flag, this tells md5sum.exe to mimic the output of the UNIX md5sum command, which was used to create MD5SUMS.txt. OUTPUT: C:\Users\testusr\Downloadsc:\md5sum\md5sums.exe -u c:\Users\testusr\Downloads\debian-6.0.5-i386-netinst.iso bdf926d604258ce17dfba0b5ef067f17 *debian-6.0.5-i386-netinst.iso - I opened a notepad session, cutting and pasting the output of the md5sum command into a new session. - I then opened the MD5SUMS.txt file in a seperated notepad session and looked for the debian-6.0.5-i386-netinst.iso line: bdf926d604258ce17dfba0b5ef067f17 debian-6.0.5-i386-netinst.iso -I cut and pasted that line directly under the output of the md5sum command I had put into the notepad session previously, getting the following file: bdf926d604258ce17dfba0b5ef067f17 *debian-6.0.5-i386-netinst.iso bdf926d604258ce17dfba0b5ef067f17 debian-6.0.5-i386-netinst.iso Hence, I can verify that ISO and come to the conclusion that this is pretty darn complicated on Windows. To double check my work, I verified on my Debian system: mek@kuip:tmp- md5sum -c MD5SUMS.txt 21 | grep netinst debian-6.0.5-i386-netinst.iso: OK Hope that helps. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

I never noticed and consequently never downloaded the file called, MD5SUMS.txt. That is my problem. I'll go back and look for it. I downloaded the iso file only (debian-6.0.5-i386-netinst.iso). Where did you find the file MD5SUMS.txt ? I went to the link you provided and looked at the first file listed which is simply called MD5SUMS. It open as a text file listing many hashes. There was nothing to download. I just copied the hash that relates to the debian iso file (debian-6.0.5-i386-netinst.iso). I was using Firefox on my Windows system.

Since you were taking the time to verify the ISO image and it can be rather tedious to do so on Windows -- at least in my experience -- I figured I would take the time to help you out.

Re: Checksum for iso image netinst i386
At the bottom of this page is basic instructions on how to get hashs. Sorry for the outside of debian but it's what I could find the fastest :P http://www.openoffice.org/download/checksums/3.4.0_checksums.html Shane On Wed, Sep 26, 2012 at 5:17 PM, Wally Lepore wallylep...@gmail.com wrote: On Wed, Sep 26, 2012 at 6:31 PM, Shane Johnson wrote: If you go back to the directory from the URL I sent (http://mirrors.xmission.com/debian-cd/current/i386/iso-cd/) you can find the hashs for whichever format you are most comfortable with. Hi Shane, Ok, I think I'm understanding. In regards to the link you sent ( http://mirrors.xmission.com/debian-cd/current/i386/iso-cd/ ), I opened the format titled, md5sum and it previewed the hash numbers for all the iso files related to the i386 debian download. I believe the hash that relates to my downloaded iso is: bdf926d604258ce17dfba0b5ef067f17 debian-6.0.5-i386-netinst.iso ok but now what do I do with this hash in regards to the program md5sum.exe and my command prompt in windows?

Not sure I understand what you suggest and how it relates relates. I'll re-read your replies again and see if I can better understand.

Shane's Link explains some ways for Windows. Don't you have a burning software that will show the MD5sum of the ISO? If so, simply compare the sum with sum from the http links without software.

Hi Ralf, Yes I do have software on windows called winmd5sum that does all this automatically using a different process. The Cd Burner method you mention is also another way. I will look into that. Also I discovered there are many different ways to verify that a downloaded file is error free. Using the program md5sum.exe is just one of many different methods using the command line. I simply wanted to learn this particular method, that's all. I've found some interesting links in regards to this subject. I will get back to the mailing list with my results. See the link below please. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5sum Thanks again Ralf Wally -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
