Help. I hve downloaded OOo and have a file OOo_1.1.5_Win32Intel_install.zip I am trying to follow your instructions on the web page "Using MD5 Checksums" but since I don't speak DOS, I'm having trouble. Please help. Thanks. William E. Hall MD

Make your life easy. The md5sum instructions on the website are unnecessarily geeky. There are a number of good little free utilities out there for computing these values.

My current recommendation is called Hashcalc. You can get it at http://www.slavasoft.com/?source=HashCalc.exe

It's an honest to God Windows program, incredibly intuitive, and can compute any of a dozen different hashes for you. All the md# variants, all the SHA variants, and a few I had never heard of before.



Rod,

Can you help with this? What I mean is can  attach a sample page to
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=37513  that provides
the instructions as you would like. Chances are that this will be a help
to those that maintain the page and to those users confused by the
current instructions.  It will sure help with getting the 2.0 Setup
guide ready.

TIA


Hey Ger, is that the right issue? I suppose it would be useful to have that info in the setup guide, but I would think the website would be better. After all, the SG is part of the downloaded archive, and since that's what the md5sum is checking in the first place...

Rod
