Hash CheckSum problem with liveCD 2.1.2

[pffft]

Hi,

I have downloaded pfSense-LiveCD-2.1.2-RELEASE-i386-20140410-0523.iso from a few different mirrors along with their md5/sha256 hash/checksums.

None of the checksums match what the gtkHash program I have installed generates.

Can anyone please advise, I'm a little worried to install it if the checksums do not match.

Thanks.

If you look in the MD5 file:

MD5 (pfSense-LiveCD-2.1.2-RELEASE-i386.iso.gz) = f020c4b03ae45eec13adc050d915aa5a

The checksum is for the gzipped file not the extracted ISO. The MD5 matched fine for me just now.

I see I have exposed my 'noob-ness' yet again.

I did indeed run the checksum on the extracted ISO instead of the gzipped file.

Thank you very much for clearing that up Steve!

I see that people are very active on these forums - what a great community.
