[lug] MD5sums of SuSE 9.3 files wanted

[chris-blug at syntacticsugar.org]

Hi, everyone.

I'm trying to recover from a pretty major hard drive failure. I've got
a few hundred thousand files in my lost and found directory, many of
which are the same on another machine, and most of the rest will be
stock files from a SuSE 9.3 install.  I've thrown together some
scripts to compare md5sums of the files in lost and found against
known files.

If you happen to have a fairly standard install of SuSE 9.3 with some
standard development packages (gcc, etc.) please do me a favor and run
the following:

rpm -qal --dump | perl -lane 'print $F[0]."\t".$F[-8]' | gzip - > rpmsums.gz

and make the resulting file available on a website or something
temporarily so I can download it.  I don't have the SuSE CDs or DVD
handy.

(I just threw that together. Please feel free to improve on my shell
commands. The desired output is one filename and its md5sum, tab
separated, per line, for a suitably large set of stock SuSE 9.3
packages.)

Thank you,
