Hi folks,

Thomas Schmitt has developed a new Debian ISO check script, please find the file 
attached. It has been tested by me (and him resp.) on a little-endian and big-
endian machines. Its usage is self-explained:

$ ./check_debian_iso

Examples:
  check_debian_iso  MD5SUMS  debian-6.0.3-amd64-netinst.iso
  check_debian_iso  MD5SUMS  netinst
  check_debian_iso  MD5SUMS  debian-6.0.3-amd64-DVD-1.iso  /dev/dvd
  check_debian_iso  MD5SUMS  1  /dev/dvd
  check_debian_iso  MD5SUMS  2  /dev/dvd
  check_debian_iso  MD5SUMS  U:1  /dev/dvd
  check_debian_iso  MD5SUMS  kde-CD-1  /dev/cdrom
  check_debian_iso  SHA512SUMS  businesscard  /dev/cdrom
  check_debian_iso  MD5SUMS  1 /dev/cd0 'md5 -q'


Comments welcome.

Sure, if the script is deemed appropriate by the debian-cd team, we can of 
course produce a patch against wml code.

It could be added to the debian-cd package or distributed via debian.org/CD/ 
for instance.
