Also, if you are really a newcomer, you need to download the md5sum file itself, this is a file usually located where you downloaded the iso's from, if you haven't done so already, download that file. In that file are the results you should see when you run the md5sum on the iso(s). To see this file from the command prompt, type "less nameofmd5sumfile" without the quotes, the results will be shown for each respective iso. When you run the md5sum command on the iso, it should be EXACTLY the same key as listed in the md5sum file. Hope this helps....<BR>

I'm not sure if Mandrake has this feature or not, but the new Redhat CD's ask
you if you want to verify them just before the install. IF it doesn't the way
to do it is:
in the directory where the ISO files are, run "md5sum cd1.iso" and such for
each CD iso file. It will take a while to run, and spit out a long number,
compare that the the MD5SUM file you can download withthe ISO's if they match,
then your ISO's are OK.
As for things being broken after install, can you elaborate more on that?
