|Did you check the md5sum of the downloaded iso and compared it to the
|md5sum provided by the download server ?
|If they match, I`d say the "FAIL" can be ignored
|
|Did you try installing anyway ?

Aristos,

(1)  Don't top post.

(2)  Google "md5sum windows"
~    http://www.irnis.net/gloss/md5sum-windows.shtml
~    http://downloads.activestate.com/contrib/md5sum/Windows/

(3)  FC4 uses sha1sum now!

Good Luck,
