Solve : incorrect md5sum?

1.	Solve : incorrect md5sum?
Answer» i downloaded MEPISLite to burn it on a cd. but it seems like the md5 sum on the website and the one defined by HashTab don't match up :s though i have no clue why it WOULD have been downloaded incorrectly. the file has the correct size. so what should i do? :pMake sure you are using the correct checksum command. I know of cksum /usr/ucb/sum /usr/bin/sum and md5sum to start with. You said the web site uses md5sum so make sure you use md5sum on your linux box when comparing. If it doesn't match download it again, if it still doesn't match after a few retries then download it from another source.

i downloaded MEPISLite to burn it on a cd.

but it seems like the md5 sum on the website and the one defined by HashTab don't match up :s though i have no clue why it WOULD have been downloaded incorrectly. the file has the correct size.

so what should i do? :pMake sure you are using the correct checksum command. I know of cksum /usr/ucb/sum /usr/bin/sum and md5sum to start with.
