To clarify, since someone asked me about this on irc: the point of the
checksum file is to make it possible to check that a disk and its files
are still working after, say, the disk has been stored for several years
in a cabinet or used as the cat's scratching post. If there is a proper
md5sum.txt file one can do this:
cd /cdrom && md5sum -c md5sum.txt
That's quite a convenient way of doing it.
