i am looking at implanting the md5sum on my 'custom' cd and i have found
the binary:
/usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/implantisomd5
but im not sure how to use it.
i dont know what the [--force] and [--supported] parameters mean/do and
whether i even need to pass any parameters except just the .iso filename.
and just to make sure im thinking right - is it just running the 'linux
mediacheck' at the boot prompt that will verify this implanted md5sum?
i guess the 'linux mediacheck' just does and md5sum and compares it to
the implanted one?
i also found this while i was googling around:
"The code is borrowed from anaconda-7.3 source package from RedHat 7.3
The purpose is that each iso9660 image will carry its own md5sum. Be
care- ful as the implanted md5 is not the same as md5sum on the whole
image."
can someone please explain what this means?
thanks heaps
