Here is a perl script I wrote that checks the md5 sums for you
-------snip between the lines ---------------
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#checkmd5sums [sumsfile]
#run from the directory that contains the iso files and the md5sums file
from redhat
#this script reads the md5sums file, runs md5sum on the files if exists
in the
#current directory and compares the calculated checksums with that
contained in the md5sums
#file
# Bret Hughes [EMAIL PROTECTED] April 15, 2000
#added passing in as Parameter the nem of the sums file to use
# Default file is MD5SUMS
print "ARGV = $#ARGV \n";
if ($#ARGV ge 0){
print "Using $ARGV[0] for md5 sums file\n";
$sumsfile=$ARGV[0];
}
else {$sumsfile = "MD5SUMS"};
open (SUMS,"$sumsfile")|| die " can't open $sumsfile";
while (<SUMS>){ #this example places the line read into the
default scaler $_
($sum, $file)=split /\s+/; #here the default scaler is
being passed to split
if ( -f $file){
print "\nCalculating md5 checksum for file $file\n";
print "This will take a while... be patient\n" ;
($calcsum,$rest)=split /\s+/,`md5sum --binary $file`;
print "calcualted sum = $calcsum\n";
print "sumfrom file = $sum\n";
if ( $calcsum eq $sum){
print "Checksum for $file ok\n\n\n";
}
else{
print "\n****** ERROR ******\n";
print "Checksums do not match for $file \n\n ";
}
}
else {
print "$file not in current directory ... skipping\n\n"
}
}
--------------------------------------------------------
run it from the directory that has the isos and the md5sums file
