Yes, I did. It leaves a lot to be desired. For example, it uses "FILE" in two different ways without explaining that it is using it in two different ways. But anyway... I was correctly using md5sum. The problem appears to be that I was not using Disk At Once when recording the .iso file to CD. The software I used for this a year ago did not seem to have an option for this when writing an image. Anyway, all of the CDs that I wrote using Disk At Once mode have no problem. Most of the CDs that I wrote without that option *sometimes* give me an error when it gets to the last 2K of the CD. Odd that sometimes these discs verify just fine? Also, the mechanism suggested for doing a df and dividing the number of 1K blocks by 2 to get the number of 2K blocks and using dd with a 2K block size for the derived number is not necessary (at least on RH 7.1). A dd with 1024 byte block size for the number of blocks reported by dd works just fine. And, I suspect that with a properly written cd (Disk At Once), a straight redirect into md4sum will also work. Thanks to all for the suggestions and assistance!
