Hi Everybody!
Please, can somebody tell me how to verify a md5 checksum?
Hi, You have a few options: Look in /usr/bin for a binary named md5sum - if you have it, type "md5sum --help" in an xterm or from the command line (don't type in the quotes) and it will spit out a list of instructions for you to follow. If you don't have it, it is certainly available from SuSE's ftp site and your SuSE CDROM set. You can also use "gpg --print-md MD5 filename" (again, don't type in the quotes). You can also probably use pgp - though I don't know the exact switches for pgp. For gpg and pgp, you must (obviously) have one or the other installed before you can use them. Does anybody else have another way to check them? John
