Does creating an iso file from the cdrom produce an iso with the same md5sum as the one used to create it? I heard that the command 'cat /dev/cdrom | md5sum' on an installation cd gets the correct md5sum but I have not tried it yet. Would 'cat /dev/cdrom > somefilename.iso' suffice or are there some files to be tinkered with to create a bootable installation cd?

Md5sums of the rpm files? The reason I asked is that I have in my possession a Redhat CD which passed the media check but when I made it into an iso file (using dd) the md5sum does not check out.
