The sleep command is necessary and so is using md5sum to check the .md5 file as its input. That in turn will check the iso if present in the directory. I had used md5sum pretty infrequently and forgot about that detail. In any case so far as I can tell the iso checks out as ok now that it's being checked correctly. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- jude <jdashiel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> About to block another web browser version?
