WADR. It isn't. It only checks the first few sectors containing the top level directory. This is why some distros, noteably Debian, have a list of the md5 hashes for all the files on the DVD/CD. I know checking the md5 hashes is a time consuming pain but, in the long run, it has the potential of saving a lot of time, and more especially, emotional aggravation. -- Sincerely etc. Christopher Sawtell
