[Tfug] Knoppix

[Harry McGregor]

Ok, let's do some MD5SUMs and some downloads.

On the webserver itself:

hmcgregor at aragorn:~/public_html$ md5sum KNOPPIX_V3.3-2003-11-19-EN.iso
8f841bae907f828ed7a36a0213746ab1  KNOPPIX_V3.3-2003-11-19-EN.iso

Download to my workstation:

hmcgregor at harry:~/knx$ wget
http://www.swfo.arizona.edu/~hmcgregor/KNOPPIX_V3.3-2003-11-19-EN.iso
--18:51:14-- 
http://www.swfo.arizona.edu/%7Ehmcgregor/KNOPPIX_V3.3-2003-11-19-EN.iso
           => `KNOPPIX_V3.3-2003-11-19-EN.iso'
Resolving www.swfo.arizona.edu... 150.135.81.227

MD5SUM on my workstation:

hmcgregor at harry:~/knx$ md5sum KNOPPIX_V3.3-2003-11-19-EN.iso
8f841bae907f828ed7a36a0213746ab1  KNOPPIX_V3.3-2003-11-19-EN.iso

The MD5SUMs match, thus the download was successful.

I would need to re-read the http spec, but I don't recall an ASCII
transfer mode akin to ftp's ASCII mode.
