Part of the point of the media check is to ensure that a disk matches its expected checksum even after the disk itself may have changed due to wear and tear or the passage of time. Adding this functionality to the installer itself makes this sort of check convenient to perform immediately before one uses a disk of unknown quality to install a system. Fortunately, this does not preclude you from checksumming a disk immediately after burning it. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
