I went to the trouble of downloading the DVD iso file

PLACE AT ALL on the download page or anywhere else I
can see to find the shalsum program to check the
download prior to trying to burn it to a DVD disk. I
doubt I am alone in feeling mislead by the RedHat
people when their webpage says use a program which is
NOT available.

Hmmm, it is available on this box as:
sha1sum is /usr/bin/sha1sum

BTW, it is sha1sum not shalsum and it should be available for Windows at:

http://ftp.gnupg.zone-h.org/binary/sha1sum.exe

among other sites.  (just google sha1sum.exe)


Well, I was interested in trying Linux but if the very
download page is this useless then I can only guess
the rest of the online "support" must be just as bad.
Why tell downloaders to use a program you don't make
available for download???????

In my experience the online "support" especially as provided for FREE here is quite good. YMMV (obviously).
