Md5sum

Md5sum is a software utility used to check the integrity of an ISO image before the file is used to create a CD. Computers running a recent distribution of Linux will most likely already have this utility available on their computer. Other computer users will need to download a Md5sum utility before being able to check the integrity. Below is a listing of web pages that have the md5sum utility for Microsoft Windows.
