elektronist Posted February 1, 2003 Report Share Posted February 1, 2003 Hi, How can we authenticate Mdk CD's if we don't have ISO's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 I'm not sure that I understand your question - could you elaborate please? If the cd contains Mandrake.... then it's authentic. Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elektronist Posted February 2, 2003 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 Thanks SoulSe, I meant burned CD's. And I found cat /mnt/cdrom | md5sum > CDchecksum Actually I remembered. Because I had seen this somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ndeb Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 I strongly wish mandrake does what redhat-8.0 has already done. With redhat-8.0, the cds check their own checksums and let the user know if the cds are ok. This is great benefit to folks (particularly those who have no existing OS to verify the checksums of the install cds). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulSe Posted February 2, 2003 Report Share Posted February 2, 2003 Ah! Confused with your use of the word 'authentication' as opposed to 'verification.' :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
