Thanks for your swift answer, Vineet. OK, I think I can find the checksums from the cdimage site, but I wouldn't know where to start to check them against CD's that are already burned, i.e not CD-images. Perhaps you could point me in the right direction. Thanks in advance. -- Best regards, Peter Hugosson-Miller "Faber est suae quisque fortunae."
