before you burn any isos to CD you must first check whether the download was good.

that's what a md5sum does.

 

these links point to some places where you can get an application to check your md5sum.

to check the md5sum of an already burnt cd you could try

 

Code:

 $ cat /dev/cdrom | md5sum >> verify.md5

 

and manually check the resulting md5sum. this however requires two things:

 

1) a running linux system with md5sum. if you only have windows then one of those floppy-based distros would do it for you.

2) the correct cdrom /dev device. i have to adjust mine to /dev/hdd to make use of my slave CDROM drive.

 

ciao!
