Bittorent/downloading slack9.1 iso´s

jimdaworm · 10-11-2003, 02:05 PM

I have downloaded the iso files (For Slack 9.1) twice now and couldn´t find the checksums... I have wasted 3 cds trying to burn the images

I work in an internet cafe so have good bandwidth and wanted to try bittorent... I download the program but then couldn´t figure out how to find a torrent... I am new to burning images and to bittorent (Which from what I can tell is very new too!)

I know that you can get checksums but I wasn´t sure about how to make the checksum from the file.

Any help would be cool!

I usually get my isos from Linux ISO. The checksums (aka md5sums) are also there.

Display the content of the file slackware-9.1-install-d1.iso.md5 on screen:

# cat slackware-9.1-install-d1.iso.md5
# md5sum slackware-9.1-install-d1.iso

<Compare the output sum .. >

About bittorent u can search for "slackware 9.1 released" or "bittorrent" on this forum ..
