I have just downloaded a copy of 8.10 and want to check the md5sum.
I followed the instructions on checking the md5sum in Linux using terminal but all i get when i type, CD download_directory. is no such directory,
The file i downloaded appears as a ISO file on my desktop, I've extracted the file and tried it that way still no joy. Obviously I'm doing it wrong but not sure what,
Any help appreciated.

If the ISO is on your desktop, then:


cd ~/Desktop
md5sum nameofiso.iso
