Re: [libreoffice-users] North American DVD 3.5.6

Hi :)
That does sound hugely useful but please could you let us know the name of the utility you used?  
If it was for a particular DE i'm sure we could work out the name for another DE if we need to.  
Just knowing the name of 1 would help!  


Also any suggestions on how to use the utility?  If it's command-line only i think it's still 
possible even for us point&click users but we could use a little guidance.  Errr, i'm still not in 
the NA Dvd team but am still interested in how to generate an Md5sum.  

Many thanks and regards from
Tom :)
