The burning programme of choice for most Linux users is k3b which is part of KDE, but most Gnome users use it as well. If it is not installed it should be installed through Synaptic and it automatically generates checksums when it creates an iso file. To verify this create an iso with it and then open it from Tools | burn ISO image and it should load the checksum and confirm it automatically. Brasero, the Gnome burner, may do it as well, but I don't use it so can't say.
You can create one manually from the terminal as here: http://linux.byexamples.com/archives/198/md5-checksum-how-to/ Another good tool is Furious which uses Fuse and it is described here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/furius-iso-mount-mount-and-unmount-iso-images-with-gui-tool-in-ubuntu-linux.html Isomaster can be found at Getdeb.net or in the repositories. It is sometimes useful. Hope this helps, Roy Linux: Fast, friendly, flexible and .... free!

In looking for a program to do this in Mint I found the program md5deep which I believe can do what I want. I used Package manager to download and install the md5deep program. I can see that an executable file called md5deep was created in the /usr/bin folder but no shortcut was created in the start menu. My question(s) is how do I run this file and how do I create a shortcut for running the file in future? Thanks, Dave __________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
