Re: Bad DVD or bad ISO?

I followed the link posted by Thierry. It told me how to check the
checksum for the DVD iso.

There is only one problem. My ISO file is on a MS Windows machine. Is
there a way to verify the checksum on this OS?

I'll check the sum on the DVD.
How would I go about filing a bug report or feature request for the installer?

Thanks for the help.
