I cd'd to the directory and ran md5sum, as below.
[djmons@localhost djmons]$ cd Downloads/Dynebolik
[djmons@localhost Dynebolik]$ md5sum dyne-2.4.2.iso

Question! Is this verifying that the download is ok? It's providing the
md5sum, but is it verifying that the download of Dynebolik matches the md5
sum file that was also downloaded.
No, it computes the MD5 checksum for the file dyne-2.4.2.iso. To check
that the file is OK, run 'md5sum -c dyne-2.4.2.iso.md5'.
