    VERIFICATION OF BURNED DATA

    Can the use of f= followed by getting an md5 checksum on to compare against an md5 on the original iso image be done?

    Then one could be convinced that the information on the CD matches what one wanted to be on there.

    Is there another way? Can we always assume a match with a C2 errors rate of 0.000000%? With many C2 errors, but no harderrors, is the above still true?
