Hi Members
I just downloaded the netinst (stable) release of Debian for i386
architecture. The file will fit on one CD as it is only 180MB.
Before I burn the iso image to a CD, I'd like to verify that it was
downloaded without errors. Can anyone point the way to the checksum
number?

Hi Members,
Been at this for quite some time. I'm new to the application called
md5sum.exe thus please be patient. I researched the how-to and
attempted to verify the debian netinst file called,
debian-6.0.5-i386-inetinst.iso that I downloaded yesterday.
I'm using windows 2000 and windows 7 to
that explains how to accomplish
this otherwise simple procedure that had become difficult for me.
Thank you
