However I find that there is no way to easily verify data written to CD or DVD, using either Nautilus burning features or Gnombaker. I like both of these programs but they can't verify a good write, which is esential when burning OS discs. I don't fancy installing K3b since it will also bring many junk libraries in with it. How can I use the command line MD5SUM utility to check the MD5 of a written CD? I can find out the MD5 of the .iso by doing md5sum foo.iso But finding out the MD5 of a written CD by doing, md5sum /media/dvdrecorder/* gives me differing results. Cheers, Gabe </BODY> </HTML>
