I have searched and found quite a bit on checksum verification, my only problem is that I dont quite understand how it works.
I downloaded RedHat 8 and wanted to verify my .iso(s) like they suggested.
I understand that I need to compare the md5 check output with the md5sum string? I downloaded the md5sum file that was in the folder with the 5 .iso(s). Now Im not sure what to do. I do not know how to "acquire" the checksum for the .iso(s). And then how do I compare it to the md5sum file I downloaded?
Im just kinda confused at this point, I have downloaded Advanced Checksum Verifier 1.2.0. It keeps telling me that md5sum does not appear to be a valid file. I gather that this is because it doesnt have an extension?
I did successfully run Adv. Checksum Verifier on my Mandrake 9 .iso(s) but I do not understand the output that it displayed on the screen.
Maybe someone could point me in the right direction?
Thanks...mag046
