md5sum and OpenSolaris

Currently downloading OpenSolaris 2009.6 distro to play around. Will post about it soon.



md5sum


(osol-0906-x86.iso) = 86e19c89a30c9b91cbb096a758dea737

To verify the data integrity of the file, in this case, the *.iso file:

1) open terminal
2) locate the directory to check the downloaded file
3) md5sum osol-0906-x86.iso
4) it should print out: 86e19c89a30c9b91cbb096a758dea737 and the *.iso in 1 line


If both string of characters match, the downloaded file is correct. If not, there might be a problem during downloading or problem with server.

- wong chee tat :)
