Hi guys I got a distro that I want to copy for a friend but the second CD is a bit scratched and I would not want to give him a corrupted CD ( even if it is only some files). So I wana checksum it the same way I didwhen I downloaded the CDs .
The question is can I checksum it the way it is ( I dont thnik this is possible since there are multiple files rather than one single file in iso format). But I guess nothin is wrong with askin
Or do I have to create an iso image first and then checksum it ....... to see if the CD is still absolutely valid.
Thanks... and I hope nobody minds the dumb question
I mean I downloaded the original iso from iso.linuxquestions.org....
and the checksum is noted there......so if I compare it with that checksum everything will be allright ??

Yes you can do it this way...no need to do anything other than downloading the iso and haveing the checksum and running the check command(think thats what the command is called).
