Include a checksum (MD5, SHA1) when announcing your puplet

#1 Post by klu9 »

1st, many thanks to all you puplet creators. :D

To make sure we get your creation as intended, please don't forget to provide a checksum to verify it downloaded correctly.

The most common format is MD5, and can be created with one simple text command.

Code: Select all

md5sum puppy-puplet.iso > puppy-puplet.iso.md5
To make it easy to spread your creation, try to host the MD5 file in the same directory as your puplet. Post a link to that directory so people can easily find both the puplet iso and its MD5.

See for more info.

Thanks, and keep on remastering!
