I have looked at the file size and it is ok. I dont understand the way of checking md5sum would you mind telling me the "step by step guide"....I feel stupid to ask for this but according to guide on REDhat website i should run md5sum from command line ...if I do this in windows it doesnt do anything. Now you are telling me that it should run under linux or cqwin utility? what I did initially was I went to directory with al my iso files and through win cmd line I typed md5sum (and the file namme of the image) ....but this doesnt do anything thanx for any replies ivan ----- Original Message ----- From: John Haxby <jch@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, June 30, 2003 2:36 PM Subject: Re: shrike-i386-disc 2 problem > It's going to be much easier to check the ISO image first: > > md5sum shrike-i386-disc2.iso > > (or whatever it's called).
