Verify a MEPIS-CD from its own bash?

Koyae · 04-10-2010, 12:29 PM

'In the process of installing SimplyMEPIS-CD_8.0.15-rel_32. One of of my image-burning programs is telling me my burns aren't verifying, this may just be an erroneous assessment; everything looks fine and I can get to the Bash without any issues.

I did a little homework and it seems the checksum of the image I got on the harddrive is fine (md5-sum).

Is there a good (and not overly involved) way to check the physical CD is alright before I commit the time to an install?

A bit more info about my aim and setup here.

Thanks guys.

Hi,

'CdromMd5sumsAfterBurning' Describes some ways to check the validity of a burnt CD, either via the md5sum or via cmp (compare).
