Hello Jarrod, Thank you for your note concerning doing the command with the pathname. I will probably be in my down_mepis directory when I execute my md5sum command because I will want to see that I have the ISO in front of me to type the first couple of letters and do a tab completion.
I have done an md5 check sum before and know that it takes about 5 minutes to execute. Checking the CD I burn from it takes a little longer. And I have plenty of patience today.
