The MD5Sum file in /KNOPPIX on the CD needed by the testcd option is missing. So how do I verify the integrity of my burn?

I have no idea!  Guess I'm going to have to check the md5 on my downloads:

Here's what happened to me when I downloaded a copy of 0.6.1 just now:
After burning, it would not boot by itself. So, not wanting to waste the download
and burn, I opened the cd in Windows, and copied the files needed for 0.6.1 to /knoppix, which I have in the Windows partition. I run it this way anyway, so it
did not matter that the cd would not get past this point:
(Quits at:)
looking for cdrom in: /dev/scd0
when I use a boot floppy to get it going.
I wonder if anyone else has downloaded the .iso, and can only get the index.html
file to autorun, but not the /knoppix part of the cd itself.
(I have to keep closing Internet Explorer with the "Why are you still using Windows" message. )

Now that I have DSL 0.6.1 going, (more on how I do that here:)

I have to get the new menu for 0.6.1 merged with some of the changes that
I use to make Damnsmall easier for me to use. First, I open the new menu in
scite with: (sudo su)
#scite /home/damnsmall/.fluxbox/menu
Then I restore my old tarball, and open the resulting menu also.
Then I copy and paste, save the one I want and here is the result:

When I backup to the tarball, I have it for keeps.

Here is my filetool.lst, note that I have wvdial, copied from 0.5.3.1,
but not included in 0.6 or 0.6.1

Now, I gotta get back to playing with 0.6.1
