How to check ISO image before burning
 

Hi all,

I downloaded Fedora Core 12 x86_64 DVD ISO image.
I need to check the integrity before burning in to DVD.

I found the page which instructs me How to do that but I didn't understand what it says.

please tell me how to check the integrity ?
and I'm also curious to know the details present in it so can any one please simplify it and tell me what it says ?

Thanks in advance

The instructions seem pretty straight forward, what part don't you understand?

Unless you are trying to verify from a Windows machine?

The iso file you have download has a checksum it is mentioned by the file you have download.
A lot of burning Application gives you a checksum before before burning .
Both checksum should be the same .
If they are not don't use the file .
The purpose of the checksum fore you is to check if file you download is OK.

Thanks for your replies .
is importing a gpg keys is a part of verifying checksum ?

Checksum is not dependent on any kind of keys.

1. Go to http://www.slavasoft.com/hashcalc/index.htm and download HashCalc which is a GUI based checksum generator
2. Try checking the ISO file by HashCalc
3. If the MD5/SHA1 string provided in the Fedora website matches the one generated by HashCalc, that confirms the integrity of the downloaded ISO

Hope this helps.

Thank you

This post is really helpful for me thanks for the post...
