md5sum and Knoppix testcd

[A. Jorge Garcia]

After downloading the latest KNOPPIX *.iso, I did an md5sum and got no output. Is that what I should expect if there's no errors in the *.iso?

I also did a KNOPPIX testcd on boot-up and again got no output, is this supposed to work this way when there's no errors?

TIA,

--You need to also download the md5 file along with the iso ( ftp://ftp.uni-kl.de/pub/linux/knoppi...002-EN.iso.md5 )

' md5sum KNOPPIX_V3.1-08-11-2002-EN.iso '
' cat KNOPPIX_V3.1-08-11-2002-EN.iso.md5 '

--Then compare the two strings. If they match, you have a valid ISO image.

' md5sum -c KNOPPIX_V3.1-08-11-2002-EN.iso.md5 ' will output "OK" if the computed checksum matches the .md5, thereby letting the computer do the tedious comparison.
