You verify the checksum of the downloaded iso via first download the README.checksums (or whatever it's called) md5sum -c README.checksums or sha1sum -c README.checksums depending on what kind of checksume they are. It may complain about not finding other isos than the one you downloaded You can also just do md5sum downloaded.iso or sha1sum downloaded.iso and check the output with the published checksum. Now, after the burn, you may want to know whether the burning software made any undetected bad-bits. Carl has a script for testing burned iso against the source, or you can use/modify my little program (attached). Mine doesn't give any progress messages, but it does work for me. I do believe you can probably follow the compilation instructions within ;-) ;-) > > ... and I need to find out whether there is a method to update > on-the-fly from older Fedora version that is as nifty as the ubuntu > updates. Yup, I haven't tried to do an update .. would be interested to hear anybody else's experiences. The past wisdom has been that it may not be a good idea to update a RH-derived system across major releases, but I can't say from personal experience whether that true these days, or not.
