Check if a File you Downloaded has been Corrupted using the md5sum

If you download the Tiny Core iso, or another file, you can check if it has been corrupted by verifying the md5sum. If the md5sum is different, the file has been corrupted, and you'll need to download it again.

To check the md5sum while running Tiny Core or another Linux distribution, open the terminal and type:

cd path
md5sum name

For example if you had tinycore_3.6.iso in /home/tc/dl, you would type:

cd /home/tc/dl
md5sum tinycore_3.6.iso

Compare the md5sum generated, with the one on the site you downloaded Tiny Core from.
