How to I use the MD5SUM or the MD5SUMS to check the iso's I just
downloaded. Whats the difference between the to sums?
Put the .iso files and the MD5SUM file in the same directory. From the shell prompt, type:

md5sum --check MD5SUM

The md5sum program will look into the file MD5SUM and compute the md5 checksum of each file listed. It will compare this with the checksum found in the file and report OK or FAIL.

If you've downloaded the .iso files correctly, you will get an OK.
