This is just a GUI for those that prefer to do md5sum checks without using a terminal.

As you can see. It does not take up a lot of space. You can use synaptic package manager also if you are using full iso to install this.

Once it opens you can hit the File (None) button to open what you wish to check. I will be using
Android Lollipop for i386 laptops/netbooks for this demo.

Now you have located what you want to check. You can next hit the open button

Now you can proceed to check md5sum plus other checks by left click on the hash button.

Lastly. You should have a text file already made with the downloaded md5sum of whatever you needed checking. Mine is in /media/_data/isos/android_lollipop/md5

I cut and paste and check my md5sum so to make sure I recieved a good download.

Code: Select all

d897a330c93976bf83234603a63d040d  android-x86-5.0.2-lollipop-exton-kernel-332mb-150306.iso
d897a330c93976bf83234603a63d040d  android-x86-5.0.2-lollipop-exton-kernel-332mb-150306.iso

I do this in terminal myself as I learned the old school way of doing things. But. For the new users who prefer. using gui tools to do what I do in cli. Well. Here ya go.
I took these screenshots on my little 9 inch touchscreen netbook. So Alt+Left Click was my friend in moving these ovesize GUI apps around on my screen

Happy Trailz, Rok
