Thunderbird can't do spell check

then I might have a bad download .......

There is a very simple way to know for certain if you had a good download or not, the md5 test. That anyone who thinks that they are savy enough to install Knoppix to hard disk can say they might have had a bad download rather than do this simple test amazes me.

For your information, the checksum programs are md5sum and sha1sum. Just use one of them on the command line, followed by the .ISO filename and compare the return value with the checksum on the ISO web site.

Harry,
When I started fiddling with Linux .ISOs, I neglected to run checksums out of ignorance, not because I thought I knew what I was doing. I spent... er... wasted many hours with bad downloads until someone from a message board enlightened me. Now, I waste many hours trying to install dozens of Linux flavors to find my favorite (and show others). I guess I will never improve my knowledge on one flavor... that would be no fun.
