Re: md5sum

The install will use the md5sum on the disk. I know with Ubuntu and
Fedora, both allow you to "verify the disk". What the verify does is
run through that file and do the MD5 sum for all the files.

To verify your download, you should be fine running the MD5 command with
the info from the webpage. So just do this:

$ echo "548f0ac303fea840ef138e5669880a74 my.download.file" | md5sum --check

That should tell you if everything is ok
