Long time not sensible

Postby Weatherlawyer » Aug 12th, '15, 18:31

I haven't downloaded an ISO in so long I can't remember when. So I spent some time searching for the checksum "how to" before I realised it is on the burner.
I've been sitting on the ISO all week, could you please have mercy on us mutts and just tell us on the downloads page?

TIA.

The other thing is that I want to run a large screen (Techwood 3L dle dbms whatever and it seems I need a dedicated card. I am just installing the copy of Mageia 5 and hoping that is not so.). Can you tell me if it is necessary?

I don't know what kind of wizards you are but if any of you are living in North America you are about to face the Derecho demon. Good luck with that.

The checksums together with the instructions are directly on the download page, if you use direct links to download.
If you use bittorrent, checksum verification of the downloaded image is not necessary.

The checksum created by the burning program is to compare the burnt media and the ISO, it can't know what the correct checksum is.

Thanks all but I have just found the computer I was going to be using is duff. So it is back to the laptop with me for now/ It is not the checksum or anything of that sort. I suspect it was damaged before I got it.

Thanks again for th replies
