Just run 'implantisomd5 foo.iso' and it will do its thing. --force will cause an existing md5sum to be overwritten. --supported will make it so that the CD won't (by default) go into mediacheck, instead requiring you to boot with 'linux mediacheck' to get to mediacheck. > 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? Yep, or if you don't pass --supported, you will always get prompted to verify the implanted md5sum. > i guess the 'linux mediacheck' just does and md5sum and compares it to > the implanted one? Yep.
