How to check a set of Woody CD's for integrity
I have just purchased a complete set of 14 Woody CDs (7 binary, 7
source) from linuxshop.nu, and although I have no reason to doubt their
quality, I would rather find out sooner than later if any of the disks
are faulty in any way, so that I can replace it/them.
Does anyone have a suggestion of how to check the integrity of the
complete set? I first thought of a recursive directory listing, which
would hit every directory, but I guess this would not actually check if
the files are OK.
I'm sure someone must have done something similar before, but I really
can't think of a google search that would be sufficiently precise, and I
can't figure out a foolproof method myself. My only vague idea was to
make a chacksum of all the files on the disk, but I don't know how (yet)
and I'd need som real checksums to check them against ;-).
Better suggestions, anyone?
