Re: How to verify install CD's?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



when you have the iso image, you can do > md5sum <isoimage> to check for
a correct download. 

When you have burned the CD, insert it and start the install. You can do
the mediacheck for all CD's before actually starting the install. You
can always quit after the mediacheck.
Hope this helps,
Marc
