It's easier not to compare manually: $ grep -A1 SHA512 install-....iso.DIGESTS | sha512sum -c - Analog for whirlpool: $ grep -A1 WHIRLPOOL install-....iso.DIGESTS | whirlpool-hash -c - HTH, -dnh -- To resist the influence of others, knowledge of one's self is most important. -- Teal'C, Stargate SG-1, 9x14 - Stronghold
