To manually test CDs, you will need to use the dd
command line utility.
First insert the CD to be tested into your CD/DVD drive. Do NOT mount the drive. If you have a file manager that automatically mounts this device when you insert a disc, you will need to disable this feature.
Now enter the command:
dd if=/dev/cdrom bs=2k | md5sum
This will return a 32 character string which is the checksum of the CD
image. You can find the correct value in the MD5SUM
document where you downloaded the CD image from in a file called
MD5SUMS.
Remove the CD and repeat for the other CDs.
If you have problems with these instructions, please submit a bug against the anaconda component at Bugzilla. displayFooter('$Date: 2005/03/30 17:47:25 $'); ?>
