[Michael Havens]

md5sum linuxmint-13-mate-dvd-64bit.iso
 2d84f671ad77a8019dfa6e1d00572d82  linuxmint-13-mate-dvd-64bit.iso
echo '2d84f671ad77a8019dfa6e1d00572d82 linuxmint-13-mate-dvd-64bit.iso' |
md5sum -c
 md5sum: 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.
