Installing Leap 15.1 on a new machine, and for the first time ever I'm using USB instead of DVD (since there is no optical drive). I've downloaded the ISO, first by torrent, run sha256sum in the terminal, all is good.
When I start the installation, by force of habit I go to the extra menu and choose media check. Whether that is designed for USB as well as DVD I don't know, but it starts off anyway. To my surprise, when it finishes it says there is an error.
No surprise at all. The install media on USB can not be tested, but the code that runs it doesn't know it is running on a stick to tell you. Old thing.
Ok. It's kind of odd that it goes through the whole process and there isn't some check beforehand to advise it can't be done on USB.
Common complain since a decade at least.
Back on the Leap 42.3 machine that I downloaded the ISO on, I decide to go into YaST > Software > Media Check, then Check ISO File... (on the ISO file on hard disk, not the USB stick).
I had no idea a yast module to check the ISO file existed :-o
Anyway, trying. Told it to do the thing on the 15.1 image I have on the hard disk, and it says "the medium does not contain an MD5 checksum, only readability of the medium will be checked." I say continue, anyway. And then it says that:
Medium: DVD1 Size: 3961474 kB Result: sha256sum wrong
How does it know it is wrong, since the medium does not contain the checksum? BUG.
Since I had the sha256 file in the same folder I assumed it was intelligent enough to be looking there.
Apparently not. Report in Bugzilla :-)
Another shorter method:
...
As you see, it matches.
Indeed, this is the same procedure I followed.
Everything is fine :-D
Right. I'll get on with the installation then.
Good :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
