Hi there... I downloaded your FreeBSD 3.4 ISO image on my 56k over the last couple days, and I've finally gotten it... but throughout the transfer, it got disconnected several times and then resumed... I wanted to check the validity of the file on my Windows machine that I downloaded it to, before I burn the ISO image to a CD... however, I don't see any links from your download page for any Windows software that can check an MD5 Checksum file... "checksum.md5" in this case... that was on the ftp with the ISO images.. I would like to test it, and then burn it as soon as I've tested it as being good, and not a broken ISO ... thanks again, and I hope to hear from you guys soon, and I hope to be trying FreeBSD soon.
Tyler.
PS - You may want to add a link on your download page, and in the ftp directory, with info on how to check the ISO using some MD5 Checksum software... for both Linux/Unix variants, AND for Windows... Thanks again.
