Hi,
Thank you to all for your responses. I suppose I didn't make myself
clear, so I apologize for that. I already figured out how to run md5sums
on iso cds, like the ubuntu ones, that come with an md5file, but i get
hundreds of other .cue/.iso images that i want to find someway of
verifying if they burned correctly. For example in K3b you can tell it
to check the written data, it takes a long time but you can be sure
afterwards that all is ok with the cd. I have some rw discs and
sometimes they get a bad burn, it just seems like it would be simpler if
they could be verified easily.
