MD5sum is available for Windows - search google for md5sum.exe (I found it here http://www.theopencd.org/md5sum.exe) I use that before plugging the ISO's into Nero or such program. I just place the executable somewhere in my path. With the ISO's and the MD5SUM file in the same directory, at a command prompt, run: md5sum.exe -c MD5SUM It works just like it would in Linux :-) -Rick -- Rick Johnson, RHCE #807302311706007 - rjohnson@xxxxxxxxxx Linux/Network Administrator - Medata, Inc.
