Thanks for the prompt answer. You are right: I did not find the md5sum for 
econometrics.iso: While perusing your scripts, in the hope of finding there
the user-name and password that go with the DVD, I found the md5sums for
the various components of the iso.
   Unfortunately, my main interest was to learn the techniques required to
build a live cd/DVD -I have octave installed on my box (operating system:
debian wheezy).
