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!

Ron.
