<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Here are a couple of options I use for
a single file.<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li><strong>md5</strong> checksum
<ul>
<li><strong>Syntax:</strong>
</li>
<li>md5sum FileName or
</li>
<li>md5sum FileName | grep
"96b13dbbc9f3bc569ddad9745f64b9cdb43ea9ae"
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
I copy and paste the checksum to make sure it is accurate.<br>
<br>
If I am not grepping the checksum I copy the returned md5sum into
an editor, <br>
then paste a copy of the original undet that so I can compare them
a character at a time.<br>

<div dir="ltr">thanks James. I think the cksum is correct. So with
the 'c' flag it will check each file against the checksums in a
text file. I remember doing that with linuxfromscratch. What if
you only have one sum? What flag should I enter.... well, let's
check 'man'. Man says check info and info doesn't tell me. Is
there a way to check one file easily?</div>

<div dir="ltr">The -c flag is for when the file you're
putting is a text file with a bunch of checksums in it.
Simply do not use -c.</div>
