Hi,

Here are some good instructions for performing an md5sum check:

<a href="http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/using_md5sums.html" target="_blank">http://www.openoffice.org/dev_docs/using_md5sums.html</a& gt;

It is specificially talking about downloading OpenOffice.org, but everything other than that is the same.

So that's how you do it. The hard part is finding the MD5 checksums for the Solaris 10 .iso images.

Anybody know where those can be found? As far as I can tell, they do not appear on the Solaris 10 download pages.

Thanks,

I should have searched the forums before finishing my previous reply. I did a search for "md5sum" and found a post with the checksums you and I need.

Instead of repeating the checksums here, the original thread can be found at

<a href="http://supportforum.sun.com/sunos/index.php?t=msg&goto=5965&a mp;rid=17413&SQ=820151ab7cea88d91c2b9b4095b44bd6" target="_blank"> http://supportforum.sun.com/sunos/index.php?t=msg&goto=5 965&rid=17413&SQ=820151ab7cea88d91c2b9b4095b44bd6</a>

I can confirm that the checksums provided in the above thread match those I generated with md5sum.exe in Windows. These are checksums for the .zip files, not the .iso's themselves.

Just to clarify, these are the checksums you will compare against in Step 7 (Windows) or Step 2 (Linux) of the instructions at the OpenOffice.org page I referenced in my last post.

Hope that helps,
