Re: Md5 Checksums re: zoot-386i.iso

[Gustav Schaffter <gustav schaffter com>]

Is there any way of doing the md5sum test on an already burnt CD?

I have the download done in one site (Win-NT), burn the CD and then
bring it home.

At home, under Linux, I'd like to check the CD before launching the
upgrade.

Gustav
