how do you check md5 sums???

make sure that your md5 file is located in the same directory as your downloaded file (*.dsl, *.iso, *.ci, etc).

Then open an Xterminal and type in the following:

cd name-of-your-directory (this is not necessary if you saved everything to your default home directory)

md5sum -c name-of-file.md5.txt

If you get an "OK" message then your file is good.

thanks that will be a great help...........
