How to check MD5 checksums
« on: September 23, 2012, 05:41:36 PM »
Hi,

I tried searching the forums first, I really did. Can someone remind me how to do this. All I remember is the word 'md5sums'.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I get:  f464d6b28edf024321ace79c83a4d4b0

How do I know if this is the correct value?

depends on the file you want to check.
if you downloaded Core-4.6.1.iso there will also be a Core-4.6.1.iso.md5.txt in the same path that you can compare your md5sum with.

You can also do directly:
Code: [Select]
md5sum -c Core-4.6.1.iso.md5.txtrgds,
