<DIV><FONT size=2>Hi:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I've d/l iso files for linux cds.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Found suggestion on kubuntu web page to check these w/
md5sum.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Hard time understanding outcome once iso runs thru
program.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Example:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>knoppix 5.2 iso run thru gives a md5sum value of
51955807506120c90d43deebb5bc5a8e .</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>When hitting the "compare" button a window comes up with "Md5
Check Sums are different".</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Sabayon iso gives similar results.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>So...what does this mean? I have a value but thats all I
have. No blatent signs telling me that the authenticity is legit nor
file integrity.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Googling my way to enlightment.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Regards:</FONT></DIV>
