MD5 checksum

How can I check MD5 checksum after download a iso?

Is there a app that can control that?

Hey hello,

There different ways to do it.

What i do is following when the downloaded ISO is in folder Downloads:

Open terminal, cd Downloads and press enter.

After that type md5sum KaOS-2014.11-x86_64.iso and press enter.

You will see now the md5sum from the iso. Check if it is the same.

Change off course the name from the ISO what i put above off course with the one you use now.

Cheers..... ;)

The above is the easiest/fastest imo, k3b gives you an option to get md5 in a GUI, just navigate to the ISO file in k3b, and set to use to write, it will generate the md5sum then (no need to actually write the ISO to any media, just selecting is enough).
