Personally I find xcdroast perfectly fine, and it does verify. You can always verify the content by hand with the following lines: # (cd /mnt/cdrom ; find -type f -exec md5sum {} \; | sort > /tmp/cdcontent.sums) # (cd /home/me/files ; find -type f -exec md5sum {} \; | sort > /tmp/filecontent.sums) # diff /tmp/cdcontent.sums /tmp/filecontent.sums If you are comparing to a .ISO, mount the .iso first with the loopback interface. -------- Hugues Talbot, CSIRO Mathematical & Information Sciences Locked Bag 17, Building E6B, Macquarie University North Ryde NSW 2113 Australia Ph: 61 2 9325 3208 Fax: 61 2 9325 3200 63% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
