md5sum linuxmint-13-mate-dvd-64bit.iso2d84f671ad77a8019dfa6e1d00572d82 linuxmint-13-mate-dvd-64bit.isoecho '2d84f671ad77a8019dfa6e1d00572d82 linuxmint-13-mate-dvd-64bit.iso' | md5sum -cmd5sum: standard input: no properly formatted MD5 checksum lines found
then I got Harold's message and that worked like a charm; although....
- md5sum FileName | grep "96b13dbbc9f3bc569ddad9745f64b9cdb43ea9ae"
Why do you put the quotes in your text? I tried it w/o and with and it works both ways.

Either eyeball it, drop the md5sum in a file and -c it. Or pull it into stdin somehow and don't give -c an argument.

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?

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.

---------------------------------------------------I downloaded a file and want to check it's sum to make sure it aI got a good D/L. I think I'm doing it wrong. I d/l the file and type in:
md5sum -c linuxmint-13-mate-dvd-64bit.isoand md5sum seems to open the iso and check the files in it. Here is the output:http://www.firedrive.com/file/DB5BBE6C682CA50DWhat am I doing wrong?
