How do I compare the md5sum of a file with the md5 file (that was available to download with the file)?
- by user91583
Images are available for a distro on http://livedistro.org/gnulinux/israel-remix-team-mint-12.
I want to use the 32-bit version.
I have downloaded the ISO file for the 32-bit version (customdist.iso).
I have downloaded the md5 file for the ISO file (customdist.iso.md5).
I want to calculate the md5sum of the ISO file and compare it to the md5 file.
I can use the md5sum command to display within the terminal the calculated md5 for the ISO file.
I have searched the web and can't find a way to compare the calculated md5 for the ISO file with the downloaded md5 file.
So far, the closest I have come is the command
md5sum -c customdist.iso.md5
from within the folder containing both the files, but this command gives the result:
md5sum: customdist.iso.md5: no properly formatted MD5 checksum lines found
Any ideas?
