This is a checksum that allows you to verify the correctness of the downloaded file. Sometimes during download of large files even over connections that should be considered to be 'clean' you may get bitten by a few corrupted bits. You use it simply by running # ~> md5sum <filename> and compare the result with the bublished checksum, Martin. -- Unix _IS_ user friendly - it's just selective about who its friends are ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
