I downloaded install-x86-minimal-2006.0.iso and md5sum.exe. According to the provided link, http://www.etree.org/md5com.html, md5sum requires a .md5 comparison file. The documentation does not tell me how to get this file. There is a reference to "install-x86-minimal-2006.0.iso.DIGESTS", but no information about where it is or how to use it. Googling md5sum led to a thorough command syntax - calling md5sum without the -c option, which then displays "9b3bfe28baac417caf3dc942ff8690e2". I found that in one of the text files in the installcd directory, although the filename is truncated so one does not see the "digest" extension.
Thanks for reporting, but i think different. It's not that hard to find the MD5 file. It's in the same dir where ISO files are. The name is not always truncated - and if it is - it's enough to hover your mouse over truncated filenames. Learning md5sum usage is up to user - Handbook doesn't cover it as it's not Handbook's concern. Why copy/paste from man md5sum?
