0017   &krusader; checks which tools you have
0018   and if those tools allow recursive operation (in case you
0019   selected folders), you can generate a checksum by choosing a
0020   checksum type from the list (<guilabel>md5</guilabel>,
0021   <guilabel>sha</guilabel>, &etc;). You can then save the
0022   checksum to a file, usually called <filename>checksum.md5</filename>
0023   or <filename>checksum.sha1</filename>.</para>

0030   supports the type of checksum you need (from your specified
0031   checksum file) and displays the files that failed the checksum
0032   (if any).</para>
0033   <para>The system abstracts over different checksum mechanisms and
0034   Checksum Utilities. At the moment, the following checksums are
0035   supported: md5, sha1, sha256, sha224, sha256, sha384, sha512,
0036   tiger, whirlpool, cfv and crc. Please check your
