Topic: USING md5sum

[Greg]

Hello

Please forgive the newby question.....

I wanted to check my ISO and using MD5sum to use it. Do I have this correct?

I Copied the "downloaded ISO" of 5.6 into a temp directory on the linux machine  with the MD5SUM file and typed # md5sum -c at the prompt within that temp folder but not much happens???

Are we mean't to run the md5sum on the ISO generated from the CD burner i.e the end product?

What do you see as a result of the command being run?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

TIA
Greg

At the prompt (which will be a #), you'll type

md5sum -c whateverthefilenameis.md5sum

You left off the filename, which means you won't get anything from that command.
