I just wanna make sure that what I understand to be true is, in fact, true.
If I burn a .iso file to CD, then do "dd if=/dev/cdrom of=<somefile>.iso 
bs=1k", then do "md5sum <somefile>.iso", the output should be the same 
as the md5sum of the original file. If not, then I have a bad burn. I 
think I probably have a bad CD-RW drive since I've yet to burn a .iso 
file and get matching md5sums with this drive. It's a Sony CRX140E drive 
on a box at work.

Also, can't I just do "md5sum /dev/cdrom" and get a valid md5sum?

REgards,
Tim
