Description Jeroen Wittock 2006-05-16 01:00:54 UTC

After telling the user to download the latest snapshot (5.d), there is nothing mentioned about doing an md5sum -c on the downloaded snapshot. After downloading the stage tarball (5.b) there is.

Seems like a good idea to me; not hard to add, and it's only in two docs: handbook/hb-install/stage.xml and handbook/2006.0/hb-install-stage.xml. I'll take care of it in a few  minutes.

It was even easier than I expected...mostly because there is no md5summing needed in a networkless handbook... ^_^

In CVS; thanks for the suggestion.
