Hi,
I am trying to create a cd iso image from a dvd as my laptop only has
cdrom. when i try to do this from the dvd in my Mandriva 2006 PC. I
get a message saying that md5sum is not installed. i have searched the
hard drive and software but no sign of it.
How and where can i get it? All info must be idiot-proof please!
Thanks
Stuart

The Md5 sum is purely a way of the software checking itself. It's a
mathematical way of making sure everything is as it hsould be and has
not been tampered with. If you can continue without it then carry on.
If it is causing a show stopping problem then I have to hand it over
to higher experts...which means pretty much anybody :-))))
