Ok, that's not good. You should have gotten _something_ back. If everything was good, you would have seen this: # rpm --checksig xalan-j2-2.6.0-21.2.noarch.rpm xalan-j2-2.6.0-21.2.noarch.rpm: sha1 md5 gpg OK > When I run the md5sum command, it goes to the next line and seems to wait > for input.

That's because you're being a little impatient. The command has to grind through the 4GB+ of data and generate the checksum. That can take a while, particularly on a loaded (or simply just slow) system. > I think that maybe I should just go download the new iso file, just on > general principals. Might as well be working with the latest version. I agree whole heartedly with that sentiment. There really are some very nice things in SP1, and of course lots of bug fixes.
