Hi all,
	I have a quick question for everyone.  I have a friends CD. I have made a
copy and the duplication reported no errors.  What I need to do is verify that
the copy really was successful.   I still have the original CD.

I thought something like:
Insert Original CD:
md5sum </dev/cdrom >disks.md5
Insert copied CD:
md5sum </dev/cdrom >>disks.md5

then make sure both md5's are the same.

Does that seem reasonable .... or is there a better way.

Yours Tony.
