Right. But if you end up reading more from the disk than you planned, this will only flag that up (the MD5SUM generated) - it won't tell you what it should be. So my point from before is somehow semi valid ;-) > IIRC there was something about using -pad when writing media, but I > haven't had to do that for a while... It's down to the size of the ISO image. I haven't had to use pad in a while, which suggests that most of the ISOs are created in the right multiples of 2.whatever K or tools like growisofs are handling it. CDs are fascinating little things. I've got a book on the multiple stage error correction process somewhere here I used to use for bedtime reading...these days, coffee is all that's required.
