Greetings one and all. I'm a unix newbe....so deal with me here. I have a .iso copy of syslinux 1.67 (which actually might be ISOlinux??) that I boot from CD (ramdisk version...no HD needed)... but my version doesnt have the mkdosfs utility on it. I was looking for an executable that would work with this version... can someone point me toward such an animal??? :Pat

So I grab a checker from: http://www.diamondcs.com.au/freeutilities/md5.php And checking the ISO image files with this program, I get different numbers than in the MD5 hash txt file. Can anyone point me to a
