MD5 not computing
So I downloaded Escargot 64 this afternoon and tried to run MD5 on it. Came back different, so then I tried SHA1, same thing. I have never failed to get the right numbers on any distro, so I though I'd come here and ask if they are good, or what the deal is? Thank you for providing this distro and thank you for the humor.

the distro was provided with love and the humor comes natural ;)

Re: MD5 not computing
Hello tstamp and welcome to the Barbie!
Generally, don't worry too much about the md5 checksums. If you use USB, simply dd the file (provided the file size on disk corresponds with the file size on the server) - in 95% of the cases everything is okay. I recommend using wget -c http://linuxbbq.org/releases/YOUR_WM/filename.iso to fetch the file in terminal.

Happy roasting and season bravely :D

Re: MD5 not computing
The first download didn't match that md5 either, so I tried a second download just now using the wget command and it went through with no problems.
That is the first time I have had an md5 fail on me. In any case, I look forward to playing with the system this weekend. Should be a lot of fun.
