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>
