fedora 8 MD5

[Matthias Clasen]

Hello,

I have recently downloaded fedora 8, as well as a couple other distros, and
i have been able to check that the others downloaded correctly by checking
the MD5 sum, after searching for a while on your mainpage, I have been
unable to find the correct MD5 sum for the i686 Live CD, and i wish to be
able to verify that the download went smoothly, so I do not find out later
that my data is corrupted, and it will not work.

Thanks

We don't use MD5Sum. We use SHA1SUM which is a stronger checksum. Refer 
http://fedoraproject.org/verify for details on how to verify your image.

Note to webmaster: Can we add that somewhere prominent instead of 
waiting for translations still?

Oops, looks like that email didn't get handled as I had
expected,
forwarding this to Philip.  

I'll definitely be looking into better handling non-translated classes
later this week.  The goal is to publish all pages with a notice if
they're not translated yet.  

Thanks,
Ricky

We also have this page:

http://fedoraproject.org/keys  I wonder if the two should be combined.
