 2.1.4.1 Verifying the MD5 Checksum
 ..................................
 
 After you have downloaded a MySQL package, you should make sure that
 its MD5 checksum matches the one provided on the MySQL download pages.
 Each package has an individual checksum that you can verify with the
 following command, where `package_name' is the name of the package you
 downloaded:
 
      shell> md5sum package_name
 
 Example:
      shell> md5sum mysql-standard-4.0.17-pc-linux-i686.tar.gz
      60f5fe969d61c8f82e4f7f62657e1f06  mysql-standard-4.0.17-pc-linux-i686.tar.gz
 
 You should verify that the resulting checksum (the string of hexadecimal
 digits) matches the one displayed on the download page immediately
 below the respective package.
 
 * Make sure to verify the checksum of the *archive file* (e.g.
 the `.zip' or `.tar.gz' file) and not of the files that are contained
 inside of the archive!
 
 Note that not all operating systems support the `md5sum' command. On
 some, it is simply called `md5' and others do not ship it at all. On
 Linux, it is part of the `GNU Text Utilities' package, which is
 available for a wide range of platforms. You can download the source
 code from `http://www.gnu.org/software/textutils/' as well. If you have
 `OpenSSL' installed, you can also use the command `openssl md5
 package_name' instead. A DOS/Windows implementation of the `md5'
 command line utility is available from `http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/'.
 A graphical MD5 checking tool is `winMd5Sum', which can be obtained
 from `http://winmd5sum.solidblue.biz/'.
