[newbie] What do I do with the md5sums.90 file?
Hello everybody: Ive just downloaded the ISO files of mandrake and I want to check if they are not corrupted or unusable with the md5sums.90 file, but I dont know how this is done. I went to http://www.etree.org/md5com.html and I tried to follow the instructions there but I dont understand them. In that page it says that I have to put the md5sum file and there is an md5sum file there, but it is an .exe file, and the one I downloaded is not an .exe file, and at the bottom of the page it says that I have to create an .md5 file, and well, I just dont understand. Can anybody explain to me, step by step, what do I have to do please? These are the files I downloaded: Mandrake90-cd1-inst.i586.iso Mandrake90-cd2-ext.i586.iso Mandrake90-cd3-i18n.i586.iso md5sums.90 Those are the files, without any other extension (like .exe, .zip or anything) So, do I have to rename them or what? And what do I do with the md5sums.90 file? How does it works? Well, that is all. TIA Antonio R. [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ: 18319148 Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today.

James Dean (1931-1955) The easiest way to do this is to make a new file folder called something like ISO and copy or move all the files you listed to that folder. then open a console and type cd ISO that should put you in the folder. Assuming you make the file in /home/yourusername/ISO. Then all you should have to do is type at the prompt md5sum Mandrake90* and it will spit out the comparison alpha numerics or say something like all sums are correct. I don't recall for sure.
