Interesting. >Is this in bugzilla (also upstream) already? I think the md5sum it calculates is correct, but it does not remember how many bytes to check on the disk check, so like I just demoed with dd, you have to divide the iso's size by 2048, and tell dd to read count blocks of 2048 bytes. Then, as I just demoed with dd and sha1sum, it Just Works(TM). If left to its own devices, dd reads 2 blocks too many and the sum is then contaminated by the extra data. k3b worked fine back at F2, but hasn't worked since, and the first problem now is that it doesn't wait for the drive to recognize the disk after it is pulled back in, and instead reports instantly that there is no media available. I know enough C to be dangerous, but much of k3b is in C++ and I've never been able to get my aged wet ram wrapped around C++, or I would have fixed it. At least 2 years ago. And yes, it was bz'd and close with a won't fix, long enough back up the log I have NDI what the number may have been. 2-3 years ago anyway. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
