md5 checksum - how?

[Duncan Lithgow]

I think rather than "-check" it should be "-c". So, what's going wrong here?

md5sum -c 
/mnt/SharedFiles/faelles-filer/downloads/[Linux.Fedora.Core.3].FC3-i386-disc1.iso 
< 
/mnt/SharedFiles/faelles-filer/downloads/[Linux.Fedora.Core.3].FC3-i386-disc1-md5sum.txt

the output i get is:

Strange right?
