I am generally "computer literate" (maybe even "savy") but a Linux virgin... I recently downloaded a copy of the Fedora 11 live ISO file for Intel compatible PCs (32-bit). Your website suggests "validating" the D/L. In the "validating D/L for Windows users" section, you give Windows users 3 choices for validating their D/L: 1) HashCalc >>> I couldn't get HashCalc to D/L - probably a problem with the HashCalc website - not your fault. 2) XCSC >>> Nice little utility which reported the SHA1SUM as "795B52B3C7B16EBA6F2CAE055EC894D8648D8095" (without the quotes) 3) SHA1SUM.EXE >>> Nice little command line utility that reported the SHA1SUM the same as XCSC but using lower case letters. I realize that this doesn't matter (i.e. the SHA1SUM is actually a hexidecimal number and therefore is NOT case sensitive). Now that I have a SHA1SUM value for MY D/L, it would be nice to find a SHA1SUM value for the file on your website for the sake of comparing the 2 values i.e. validation. The instructions about how to use the above software suggest opening the file "SHA1SUM" using a text editor and comparing the values... I looked everywhere but couldn't find a file named SHA1SUM!!! My request is that you put a link to the referenced SHA1SUM file on the webpage for the Windows validation instructions >>> http://docs.fedoraproject.org/readme-burning-isos/en_US/sn-validating-files. html In the meantime, can you send me a link to the file or tell me if the file that I D/L has the correct SHA1SUM value??? Thanx for your assistance... - Michael - -- Fedora-websites-list mailing list Fedora-websites-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-websites-list
