The example in the Handbook should be updated to include -v option of md5sum to give "OK" as in example. Currently reads: # md5sum -c stage1-x86-2005.0.tar.bz2.md5 stage1-x86-2005.0.tar.bz2: OK Suggested change: # md5sum -cv stage1-x86-2005.0.tar.bz2.md5 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Following Handbook instructions for install from inside a Knoppix v3.9 live CD boot. 2. 3. Actual Results: See Details. Expected Results: See Details.
Is this a Knoppix-only thing? $ md5sum -c stage1-x86-2005.0.tar.bz2.md5 stage1-x86-2005.0.tar.bz2: OK $ md5sum -cv stage1-x86-2005.0.tar.bz2.md5 md5sum: invalid option -- v
i wonder if knoppix uses older md5sum release because the coreutils-5.2.1 (which is what Gentoo uses) has the behavior described by Marcelo
The handbook expects you booted a Gentoo installCD. Might be worth yet another knoppix-related change in the alternative install guide. If anyone feels like it...
(In reply to comment #2) I checked the version of the coreutils and it seems to be the same version. I just wish I knew more about the ins-and-outs to give everybody more useful information. I do, however, agree with Xavier. I should just stick with the guide so I don't get unexpected results.
