I think they have something to do with checking the accuracy of the > iso image but not sure how to use them. They are an md5 checksum and ascii armored openpgp signature. To make use of them you will need the program md5sum (in the textutils package I believe) and either gpg or pgp. For the md5 file do "md5sum -c " and for the asc file use "gpg --verify ". For the signature you will need the public key of security@slackware.com, which is available on pgp keyservers everywhere (I.E. wwwkeys.pgp.net). - -- Unix is a user friendly operating system.
