The files with the .md5 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MD5) and .sha1 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-1) extensions contain checksums for the actual CD ISO images (http://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/iso). A checksum is a way of fingerprinting files. Just like a real fingerprint identifies a single person, a checksum is unique and matches exactly one file. It is used to verify that the file downloaded matches the original all the way down to the smallest details.

Most users can ignore the .asc files. If there is ever an uncertainty as whether or not the ISO image file and it's accompanying MD5 file are originals & untampered, then the .asc files are important. The .asc files are digital signature messages. Digital signatures (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_signature) are a method of authenticating (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Authentication) digital (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital) information (http://en.wikipedia.

MD5 files contain checksums, strings of characters used to uniquely represent a file. These checksums enable users to verify that music files downloaded correctly. A recommended tool for creating these files is MD5summer. Please note that before uploading the MD5 created with this tool you should open the MD5 in a text editor and remove the top 3 lines so the first signature is now flush with the top of the file.

MD5 checksums files are not exclusive to SHN files. An MD5 checksum can be used to ensure the accuracy of any data file (e.g. .doc, .mp3, .mpeg). Some seeders produce MD5 checksums for their WAV files, as well as for their SHN files. This is just an extra level of confirm to ensure exact copies of the original WAV files are being burned from the SHN files. Checking a WAV file with a MD5 cheksum is no different than checking a SHN file.

You can either burn them on a CD or DVD using most common burn programs, or mount them with Daemon Tools.

Check to make sure the FTP program you used to upload the files is set to "binary" mode. If you try to upload .shn or .flac files in "ASCII" mode the files will fail the MD5 check. ASCII is the standard format for encoding plain text files (actually a subset of binary), while binary is used to encode almost all other types of files. More information on binary vs. ASCII can be found here. If this does not solve the problem, be sure that all the file names in the MD5 file match the .

MD5 cheksums files are not exclusive to SHN files, in fact, an MD5 checksum can be used to ensure the accuracy of any data file (e.g. .doc, .mp3, .mpeg). Some seeders produce MD5 checksums for their WAV files, as well as the SHN files. This is just an extra level of protection to ensure exact copies of the original WAV files are being burned from the SHN files. Checking a WAV file with a MD5 cheksum is no different than checking a SHN file.

There are many methods for dealing with noise in high ISO images. My favorite is Jes's color grain reducer. I've even done a little tutorial on cleaning up high ISO images, which uses Jes's photoshop action. I like Jes's action best because it cleans up color noise without corrupting the image. There are plenty of other approaches.

What are the differences between centos 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3? Are they all based on RedHat Enterprise Server (sic Linux) ...

You will have to find an environment in which you can temporarily use a system that meets the requirements, or if you want to be adventurous, you can try out one of the ISO handler applications for Windows. You have to contact Microsoft here. The FAQ on Microsoft Product Activation is at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;302878

Yes. To make it easier for CD vendors to provide high quality disks, we provide the Official CD images.

Many products are posted as ISO-9660 image files. An ISO-9660 image file is an exact representation of a CD or DVD, including the content and the logical format. The most common use of an image file is to write it to a blank CD-R or DVD-R, resulting in an identical copy of the original disc including file name and volume label information. ISO image files may also be opened and their contents copied to a local folder, much like ZIP files.

Even though Office Open XML was already an ECMA standard, we felt that there was value taking it on to the ISO. This was mainly because we had been asked to by various customers (mostly governments). They wanted to have our formats in the domain of the international community.

Oxygen has two methods of image catalog depending on which product you purchase. Each of our first 5 CD's comes with an image catalog. These catalogs give you a thumbnail of the image, the images location, and the name of the graphic on the CD. Our newer products (volume 6 and newer) offer a user interface on the disk (see what is the presentation design center above) that will make it easy to get to the images you need.

Simply drag the ISO file to the recorder's CD View window and start recording. This procedure is the same as with WAV and other audio files.

Images are essential for many items, and enhance every other. Images typically come from the following sources: digital photos; download from Web; donor provided. Normal protocol for images is 600 pixels in largest dimension, saved as hi-compression files (lo-res) in any image processing program you use. (Maximum file size is 100K). You may also add images or icons for each auction category as well as your organization logo. We can manage your image needs if requested.
