I didn't know weather to post this in the Solaris or Linux forum so move it if necessary.
In the Solaris 10 CD Download Instructions, it says:
I open up a Terminal (I'm running Ubuntu Linux) and do a man on md5. It gives me this syntax:
SYNOPSIS
openssl dgst [-md5|-md4|-md2|-sha1|-sha|-mdc2|-ripemd160|-dss1] [-c]
[-d] [-hex] [-binary] [-out filename] [-sign filename] [-passin arg]
[-verify filename] [-prverify filename] [-signature filename] [file...]
So I run it on all the zip files I downloaded and the iso files I extracted from them:

All the strings that are outputted match the strings in the file I also downloaded from the same place as the zip files containing the Solaris iso images. Does this mean that it verified the files and I'm good to install?
