There are no spaces either side of the - between Fedora, 11, i686i, Live and CHECKSUM. Just look at what I wrote - you actually quoted it in your email. Fedora-11-i386-CHECKSUM is a file that you should have downloaded with the iso. So the command is: sha256 -c somefilename In this instance somefilename is Fedora-11-i386-CHECKSUM You will need to be running this in the directory where the CHECKSUM file and the iso are. > ps. if you are in the mood tell me how to reply to one message without > sending the whole digest You have to change the subject and delete the unwanted lines. There is no magic way of making it look like you were replying to an individual email.
