Hi! The ISO verification page for Linux:
http://fedoraproject.org/en/verify
specifies that you use the SHA256 algorithm for computing an ISO's
checksum.
However, the Windows verification page:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/readme-burning-isos/en_US/sn-validating-files.html
says to use the SHA1 algorithm. I downloaded one of the suggested Windows
files,
HashCalc. The SHA1 algorithm most definitely does NOT produce a checksum
to match
that given in the checksum files listed on the first page above (Linux
verification).
SHA256 is the correct algorithm and having the HashCalc program calculate
that gave
me a matching checksum.
A minor glitch in an otherwise excellent web site. Thank you for the time
you put
into maintaining it.
Sincerely,
Alex
