One would issue the following command: md5 and compare the returned string with the string listed in the checksum.md5 file. However, I have not been able to find an md5.exe file or equivalent for Windoze. I downloaded the .iso file to my local w2k hard-drive and now wish to verify that it downloaded correctly. Where does one find md5 for Windows? I looked on FreeBSD.org's site and on my 3.4 CD but I couldn't find any reference to md5. I could simply burn the CD to verify the file's integrity but I am very curious of the process because just about every ftp folder on freebsd.org's site has a checksum.md5 file.
