After checking in the archive, MD5 checksum only is for very old releases: v.7: SHA512, SHA256, SHA1, MD5 v.6: SHA512, SHA256, SHA1, MD5 v.5: SHA1, MD5 v.4: SHA1, MD5 v.3.1: MD5 So what do you think about: ''' For CD releases older than Debian 6, you have to use the <code>sha1sum</code> or <code>md5sum</code> tools, depending which checksums have been generated for that releases.
