Hi :) That does sound hugely useful but please could you let us know the name of the utility you used? If it was for a particular DE i'm sure we could work out the name for another DE if we need to. Just knowing the name of 1 would help!
Also any suggestions on how to use the utility? If it's command-line only i think it's still possible even for us point&click users but we could use a little guidance. Errr, i'm still not in the NA Dvd team but am still interested in how to generate an Md5sum. Many thanks and regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: James Knott <[email protected]> >To: LibreOffice <[email protected]> >Sent: Sunday, 21 October 2012, 15:35 >Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] North American DVD 3.5.6 > >webmaster-Kracked_P_P wrote: >> I do not have any software to create a checksum.
