Hello, I know Fedora try to be more user friendly, and the website design that points to the various download options reflects that. But I think one signficant thing is missing: the CHECKSUM file is not easily accesible. How can a novice user know how to check that his/her download is correct and not corrupted ? Following the link to get fedora from the main page, I ended on this page: http://fedoraproject.org/en/get-fedora-options#formats Since I want to get the full DVD install, I follow the link to: http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/14/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-14- x86_64-DVD.iso That goes to a page that tells me that the download would start shortly (and it did), but no information about how to check the correctness of the downloaded file. There's this box that says: "What should I do with this ISO file?" and a link to instruction. The second page on the instruction ask to "Verify the download", but again, no link to point to the CHECKSUM, or how to even verify the download. Sure, I can figure out just fine that I can browse the download directory manually, get the CHECKSUM, and verify it with 'sha256sum' utility. But how about Aunt Tillie ? How about people who uses Windows to download and may not have the utility handy ? should there be at least a link to the CHECKSUM file, or even just display the hash there on the download page, and a quick instruction on how to check the download ?
