The code looks all right, for starters. You can verify the checksum by using "rlog" to find out what the checksum should be, and using "md5sum" to verify the checksum. By the way, md5sum has been cracked to some extent; if you want a checksum that is cryptographically secure, I suggest SHA-2, e.g., sha224sum or better.
