Hello.
I questioned this in the #fedora IRC channel first, and was advised to
mail
you, so here I am.
Basically, the SHA1SUM files (e.g.
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Fedora/i386/iso/SHA1SUM)
are generated using text mode (sha1sum -t, since on Unix it's the
default).
So if I try to verify the sums with the Windows port of sha1sum, it tries
to
open the ISOs in text mode, which leads to check failing.
Hence, suggestion: generate future SHA1SUMs with `sha1sum -b` instead.
Regards,
Roman.
