Hello,
I wonder if there is a way to check the
sha1sum of Fedora Installation DVD without booting and using
the mediacheck of the FC6 installer program?
I know that the iso I downloaded had correct sha1sum.
But I want to verify that the media I burned also
has a correct sha1sum without rebooting and starting the medaicheck of
the installer.
/dev/hdd in my device (the DVD).
So I tried "sha1sum /dev/hdd" (I tried twice: when /dev/hdd was not
mounted and when it was mounted) but the result I got was different from
what is in the official FC6 sh1sum page.
Also I tried dumping the iso to disk from the CD drive
thus:
dd if=/dev/hdd of=/work/FC6dvd.iso
and than ran "sha1sum /work/FC6dvd.iso" but again I got the same result
as in "sha1sum /dev/hdd" before , which is ***NOT*** what is on the web page.
I assume that the iso on the media was burned correctly because
others installed from it.
However, is it possible somehow to perform sh1sum correctly on a media
DVD?
regards,
MR
