Pungi doesn't implant Checksums in the rescue ISO.

[William F. Acker WB2FLW [phone]]

Hi, all,

      I notice that in F7 and F8, there's no check sum in the primary volume 
descriptor in the rescue ISO. I *think* that there used to be a check sum 
in earlier releases.  In any case, shouldn't we have a way of verifying 
the rescue disk in the event the SHA1SUM file isn't readily available?

It's worth checking to see if Anaconda's mediacheck would be able to
handle the rescue image, or whatever we name it this time around

I don't think we've generally had it there in the rescue image.  But
you're probably right that we should.

      Thanks.  BTW, there's no implanted check sum in the src stuff either. 
Thanks for putting the check sum implanting stuff in /usr/bin when you 
split the package.  It makes it useful for anyone wanting to use that 
verification strategy with whatever ISOs they might create, music, video, 
books or whatever.
