Hi Alex,

Hi! The ISO verification page for Linux:
http://fedoraproject.org/en/verify
specifies that you use the SHA256 algorithm for computing an ISO's
checksum. However, the Windows verification page:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/readme-burning-isos/en_US/sn-validating-fil...
says to use the SHA1 algorithm. I downloaded one of the suggested
Windows files, HashCalc. The SHA1 algorithm most definitely does
NOT produce a checksum to match that given in the checksum files
listed on the first page above (Linux verification). SHA256 is the
correct algorithm and having the HashCalc program calculate that
gave me a matching checksum.
A minor glitch in an otherwise excellent web site. Thank you for
the time you put into maintaining it.
Sorry for the confusion. This issue is known and being tracked at
