have a problem similar to Timothy's. If I run "md5sum

in a terminal, it lists all the sums. My problem is that I have several

md5sum * > textfile
will create a file named textfile in the current directory (along with all of
your photos).
Can't copy and paste unless there's some way for me to adjust
the
terminal to allow the last several thousand lines to display. Then I'm
also going to have to sort all those lines into some alphabetical order
to reasonably detect duplicate sums. Any ideas?
man sort
man uniq
These commands will do exactly what you are looking for.
fslint is a very slick way to find duplicate files, too.
yum install fslint
You'll be impressed.
