Hi, This is another reason for having a filelist (as already agreed in another strand of this thread). extract from: http://www.4front-tech.com/release/filelist.v40 Linux-i386-26:200801022314 oss-linux-v4.0-1012-i386.tar.bz2 Short of a signature/checksum (the validity of which would be questionable) it contains all the information required. regards, Clive _______________________________________________ oss-devel mailing list oss-devel@mailman.opensound.com http://mailman.opensound.com/mailman/listinfo/oss-devel
