MD5 Checksum Tool

Valtam: This would only duplicate software that already exists in Linux Lite.

md5sum nameofisofile.iso

Yes, the command above returns the md5sum but it won't compare it with the MD5 value usually provided on iso file's download page. Here is an example of Ubuntu "mini.iso" file:

step 2

step 3

step 4

step 6
