Hi,
someone invented this damn fopen-thing and specified, that a "b" can be
used to force binary-mode open. text-mode is default as you might know.
md5sum also has a "-b" switch, and i want to bring it back into your
minds. 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
