Hi all,
What is the preferred way to verify the integrity of the various
LiveCDs available for the F9-Sulfur beta? I tried to test the
i686-LiveCD and was unsure whether its failure to boot was due to a
corrupt burn and/or download. There seems to be no sha1sum or md5sum
available on the prerelease page[1] to enable a quick check of the ISO
image.
The specific issue which I'm seeing is probably a specific optical
drive issue, however the above possibility is one which it would be
nice to be able to eliminate.
Best wishes,

To get the checksum of the burned image, my preferred method is:
# head -c `isosize /dev/cdrom` /dev/cdrom | sha1sum
