md5 checksums

11 Feb 2000

      Hi Everybody!

Please, can somebody tell me how to verify a md5 checksum?

I read the rpm manpage and it says something about md5 checksums
there, but I don't know how to pass a given checksum to rpm.
In the manpage it says something about a database, but surely
the checksum of an update-package wouldn't be in a database, 
would it?
If it were, it wouldn't be provided along with the package now,
would it?

Thanks in advance, 

Till Rotter
