Hello,

currently I am preparing  to  update to F12.

When reading the webpage "https://fedoraproject.org/en/verify" it came to my mind that it may be even more comfort in verifying when piping the "$ sha256sum -c *-CHECKSUM" with through "grep DVD" resp. "grep disk" resp. "grep net" to obtain less text output.

So there would be "$ sha256sum -c *-CHECKSUM | grep DVD" for a DVD.iso-image with just one line of output not talking about the failed whilst missing ones.

Sincerely.

rabe

Hmm, one downside to doing so would be that we'd have to then explain
how to do a similar grep for folks downloaing the CD media.  I don't
disagree with the idea of making the output easier to read.  I'm just
not sure if we'd be trading one minor annoyance for another.

(You'd probably be surprised how many questions we get on the subject
of verifying media. :)
