Hi Mat
Yes I am also using Firefox. I did the procedure you described in
regards to downloading the MD5SUM.txt file. It worked. In windows 7 I
don't have to type the file extension (,txt) as it defaults to .txt in
the "save as type" selection box. However, I do understand your
procedure as I also tend to always type in the file extensions myself.
Still working your recommended procedure. Yes, probably is a lot
easier in Debian :)
Thank you
Wally
