I couldn't put name of file on Desktop in brackets. Posting wouldn't let me. So Name of file on Desktop means THE EXACT NAME OF THE FILE ON YOUR DESKTOP that was downloaded from site.rokytnjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05628237588907197684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3525387298742496139.post-47689081977271735142008-09-13T10:04:00.000-07:002008-09-13T10:04:00.000-07:00Just a note on Downloading and checking files when...Just a note on Downloading and checking files when using Firefox. Usually the default setting is to download files to the Desktop. When you want to do a md5sum on a iso file like Puppy which is now on your Desktop.<BR/><BR/>Open Terminal<BR/>Type cd Desktop<BR/>Hit Enter<BR/>you should now have: ~/Desktop$ with the flashing cursor displayed now in Terminal<BR/>Type md5sum name of file on desktop<BR/>Hit Enter<BR/><BR/>Your numbers will come up after a few seconds depending on how large the file is, be patient.<BR/><BR/>You can compare your numbers with the copied md5sum numbers you have copied and pasted into Text Editor from the Website you have Downloaded your file from. Save the Text Editor md5sum document to your desktop. Now just copy your md5sum readout in your terminal window, open your md5sum Text Editor Document, and paste your Terminal md5sum readout directly below the other md5sum numbers you have pasted in the document. Compare and they should line up perfectly, numbers and letters. If not you either copied the wrong md5sum from the website you downloaded from or you had a corrupted download when you downloaded the file.rokytnjihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05628237588907197684noreply@blogger.com
