| From: "Frank Murphy (Frankly3D)" <frankly3d@xxxxxxxxx> | The one thing I can't find is how to compare | the downloaded iso to the Burned media. | Google on compare iso to cd(dvd) | just brings up proprietry efforts. | | Can someone supply the cli for this? | I think: | diff /path to iso -o loop /path to/dvd ? The simple command would be cmp: cmp file.iso /dev/cdrom Of course you need to adjust those paths according to your system. One problem with this is that the raw cd read may not yield EOF at the exact end of what was burned. So you need to limit the cmp to the correct length. What is that length? isosize file.iso will tell you the number of bytes. Then you can tell cmp: cmp --bytes=`isosize file.iso` file.iso /dev/cdrom There is still a problem with some drives combined with some kernels generating spurious I/O errors because they read ahead beyond the burned part of the medium. I'll leave that issue alone this time. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
