It's ment for those people who create the md5-files for the iso-images. Just because Linux doesn't differ between text- and binary-mode, the "-b" switch isn't to be ignored. It's always anying to me, as i sometimes use md5sum an a platform that uses a text-mode conversion for read/write operations. Thx Sven -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
