I've FINALLY gotten the FC5 DVD to burn on a different computer using suspect software under Windows (called CD BurnerXP 3), and I'm wondering if I can check the sha1sum of the final written product. I know that k3b does this somehow to confirm burns (unfortunately my Linux computer wants to horribly underrun the buffer all the time), but I've never round a way to do it without that tool after the CD/DVD has been burnt.

Thanks in advance for any help.

edit: Oh, and I know that the FC5 distro has the disk test, but my experience with that has never been good. I just know this DVD is going to fail it....

You could make an iso image from that DVD and then get the sha1sum of that.

Haha, thanks for the suggestion. That's basically what I finally did, since I was so worked up over it. All worked well. It actually passed the self-test, too, so maybe that's not a problem with this distro.
