Woo's Wierd Linux Trick #000.00.1 (of 1):
1) Download the md5sum file, which is plain ascii text.
2) From a console do: #md5sum {whatever.iso} . It takes a while to calculate,
so in the meantime:
3) Open the md5sum text file with the Text Editor
4) Place a CR or two just below the line in md5sum where it says:
"whatever.iso" {sums}
5)Copy and paste the result from the console immediately below this line.
If all the characters match up, your download is OK.
NB: I do it this way, because
1) I usually run my 17" monitor at 1024 x 768
2) I'm not a programmer
3) I'm *terrible* at math, and last but not least...
4) I'm a dummy who doesn't want to use *any* Microsoft stuff: hardware or
software.
..... not necessarily in that order ...
cheers, saluti, salutations ...
