Grep needs the text it is to search for as a quoted string.<br>

On second thought, that is the directions I found on the net, but
as there are no spaces it it it may work without them.<br>
Test on your project and share.<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>
