Questions regarding OS X and using md5 with open office has appeared
several times within the open office mail in various discussions. The
information here ought to be posted somewhere as a reference
permanently. I'm willing to rewrite it in English or Spanish as
necessary.
I am writing to correct some misunderstanding regarding md5 and it's
availability on OS X. Too bad, it's going to get lost in amongst all
the other emails.
Apple does have it's own very of md5 within it's Disk Utility
application. However, that version provides a very different type of
processing in determining md5 values.
The more common md5sum test is available, and it is not necessary to
refer outside of OS X for it -- nor is it necessary to install anything
extraneous to what is already found within OS X itself. The md5sum
test which is very familiar to Windows and Linux users, is available
within an application in OS X called Terminal. Do:
$ md5 filename
where filename is the name of the file to be tested and the md5sum test
will report in the same format one sees in Linux or other environments.
Try it out.
Best wishes ....

Well,
Thanks for forwarding me the links. I did a little reading, and this,
unfortunately from what I read, does not help me at all:(
The original problem was the inability to install OO on Mac OS X.
The md5sum is LInux and Windows only:(
Is there a version for Mac?
Any new ideas?

M. Hogan,
This question should have been sent to the list. I happened to find it
in my junk filter by accident. The information you have asked for is
on
http://download.openoffice.org/2.0.1/index.html near the bottom.
Specifically, http://download.openoffice.org/2.0.1/md5sums.html
I have copied the mailing list for you.

Hello,
Could you explain how the md5sum thing is done? I want to be able to
eliminate all possibilities.
I just find it odd that I can download anything and everything but
OO.
NeoOffice downloads fine...
Thanks for letting be know how. (what software, and how do I go
abotu
it?)
