Checking the Fedora Core 4 ISOs On Windows
Due to some weaknesses in the MD5 hash function, Fedora Core 4 comes with SHA-1 checksums key. To test your ISOs on windows you need sha1sum.exe program You can download it from ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/sha1sum.exe (20k) http://www.cryptosys.net/pki/pkiintegrity.html ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/sha1sum.exe.sig ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/sha1sum.c (9k) ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/binary/sha1sum.c.sig Download the sha1sum.exe and put it in
your windows system 32 directory (e.g. C:\WINNT\system32)
directory. You can calculate the checksums key by type sha1sum *.iso on
the command prompt. C:\LinuxISO\stentz-binary-i386>sha1sum
*.iso Verify that the generated checksums key is same as "SHA1SUM" downloaded with Fedora Core 4 ISOs.
