Solaris 10 download & md5sum
Hi,

I download Full DVD Image (zip):
Code:
 Oracle Solaris 10 (SPARC) (2,079,737,380 bytes) (md5sum: 3a24f5746ebab5f254c359f979e644f7)

I have also downloaded md5sum.exe from the following site bt.etree.org | Community Tracker

when i run the md5sum it show,
Code:
D:\Solaris Patch\sol-10-u9-ga-sparc-dvd-iso>md5sum sol-10-u9-ga-sparc-dvd.iso
6f4b2dedf9fa09b143e6216807d7f388 *sol-10-u9-ga-sparc-dvd.iso

I wanted to know if the file i downloaded is it healthy? should the md5sum i downloaded be the same as what was show on oracle solaris download site? or is there any particular md5sum i should download to verify the solaris downloadSmilie Thanks for any answer in advance. Smilie

You said you downloaded a ZIP, but run the md5sum against the ISO contained within. Try calculating the checksum for the ZIP instead.

other file, same value... this doesn't seem to make any sense?! tell us the whole story about the download and how you handled the downloaded file to get the iso file...

also post the output of the command:
Code:
file sol-10-u9-ga-sparc-dvd.iso

which will only work from solaris (or linux?) but not from windows.

My guess here is that Oracle (in it's infinite "wisdom") publishes the checksums for the ZIP files on it's website, but not for the ISOs contained inside. So people will have to check the ZIP file, instead of the extracted files.

i just checked my solaris 10u9 sparc image:
Code:
md5 sol-10-u9-ga-sparc-dvd.iso 
MD5 (sol-10-u9-ga-sparc-dvd.iso) = 6f4b2dedf9fa09b143e6216807d7f388

same as your checksum, so your file should be ok and the checksum on the oracle site is for the zipped file.

The md5sum on the zip file & the iso file are different as following:
Code:
zipped file: 3a24f5746ebab5f254c359f979e644f7 (as pludi said, i got it from Oracle website)
unzip/iso file: 6f4b2dedf9fa09b143e6216807d7f388 (this one i get it by running it myself after extracting)

That is where i got it wrong Smilie. Thanks for the help.
