I like the fact that I have the md5sum of the dsl iso, but when I burn it or do a frugal install I cannot anymore know if my dsl system is intact. Wouldn't be useful to have an md5sum also of the knoppix file?

Well, if the md5 of the iso is fine, the KNOPPIX is fine too.

On the other hand, wouldn't add too many bytes to have KNOPPIX's md5sum on the cd..

the knoppix file it can be ruined in the time, while the iso file once I download it and check the md5sum I immediately use it for burnig a cd or do a frugal install and then I don't need it anymore.

If I am understanding this, you would like the KNOPPIX image md5sum to also be posted? Then when manually copying, i.e., like for a pendrive, or manual frugal, or poormans you would be able to verify its integrity?

I'd like some sort of automatism that checks the integrity of the knoppix file; 4 example ubuntu checks automatically the file system every 30 mounts.
