Hi.  I saw a post talking about a simple script which
just mounted the iso file then used a recursive
directory traversal and individual file checksum test
to see that the CD and the iso image are the same.  Is
there anything around freely available like this, or
does everybody have their own.  The post said that
this approach will show successful compares when linux
mediacheck says (incorrectly) that the media does not
pass.
