Linking to these websites from the Fedora download page would require that the project page be a generic one like sf.net. Linking to random personal webpages or commercial webprojects without getting explicit permission from them. Bandwidth costs a huge amount. That is a liability. Linking to particular mirrors is a bad idea too especially when they are overloaded since the users wont be able to reach those webpages anyway.

Redhat could have just mirrored the sha1sum.exe file itself to the Fedora website. It is not huge (20 *Kbytes*) and is GPLed. Rather than trying to get other people to mirror it on Redhat's behalf. Redhat would not have even noticed the bandwith bump: The utility is smaller than the downloads page itself with its images and stylesheets.
"Me too." I hope you can do it right away if not sooner (say, on 9 June 05 ;), as leaving it out makes it hard to install FC4 from MSWindows.
Also, the links to the Release Notes and Release Notes Errata should emphasise that the Errata are the /complete/ and current Release Notes, not just some changes:
"current updated release notes, with enhancements and bug fixes for the notes in the link above." ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' mailto:tonynelson@georgeanelson.com ' http://www.georgeanelson.com/
