Yes frustration does exist. !.<br>I attempted sha1 in Bash and it does not work. seemingly. so i posted a question about 15 minutes ago, as to what is the default shell that Linux is built on.<br><br>after all of the bs below, as i was cleaning off the desk top i did see a file with a Linux download drive inside and dragged it, the drive onto the terminal curser to get its path and tried to check it in a debug option and got nowhere.<br>
<br>This is a small fragment of what i did try over a period of 3 hours:<br>and several other variations from the man sha1 in BASH , i did go on line and found :<br>openssl sha1 <path/filename.ext><br><br>I then went in and did a debug option:<br>
$ openssl sha1 -d /Users/polymorphous/Desktop/yellowdog-6.2-ppc-DVD_20090629.iso <br>BIO[00409A30]:ctrl(6) - FILE pointer<br>BIO[00409A30]:ctrl return 0<br>BIO[00409A30]:ctrl(108) - FILE pointer<br>BIO[00409A30]:ctrl return 0<br>

Given what you posted previously I'm concerned whether you are familiar<br>
with the nuances involved in both using the SHA1SUM value and<br>
invoking the SHA1SUM test on the .iso you choose to download to burn<br>
onto a DVD.<br>
<br>
The difficulty is that if you are not familiar with it, you could<br>
easily download a defective .iso and burn an equally defective DVD -<br>
again, again, and yet again. This process ad nauseum wastes<br>
download time and burning time.<br>
<br>
Given how you already reacted, the potential frustration resulting from<br>
producing an incomplete and/or faulty DVD may be a process to avoid<br>
completely. Unfortunately without understanding the usage of the<br>
SHA1SUM value and the SHA1SUM test there is no way to determine if<br>
the .iso you downloaded before burning the DVD exactly matches the<br>
product originally released by Fixstars (or any other Linux<br>
distribution).<br>
<br>
If you determine that the information posted at the mirrors regarding<br>
the SHA1SUM are unclear I'd be happy to attempt a more effective<br>
explanation and post it here.<br>
<br>
All the best...<br>
