ok whats with all this ISO. md5 stuff
 

OK so ive been out of the loop for a year; so shoot me.
OK here is the question what is all this md5 stuff, do i need it for anything?
all i want to do is DL the ISO images so i can install to a new system but the ISO
list now has three entries for an ISO; Well here ill let the list do my explaining for me.

slackware-9.1-install-d1.iso

{slackware-9.1-install-d1.iso.asc
slackware-9.1-install-d1.iso.md5} So What the heck are these for an do i need em for the install?

Sorry to be so brain dead.

Shrike:confused:

the actual file is the *.iso

the md5 is a checksum file. That means that when you download both files you can run a program that the calculates the iso's checksum and compare it with the md5 file to make sure there were no errors during your download.

Ahhhhh
 

Cool that works for me.
Thanks for the info Misel.
