Hello List, hello "admin", to the download help on same download page:
The section "Verify your download (optional, for experts)" could be a bit updated and merged with download help/enhanced with links to the wiki especially to the use of metalinks:
- A check could nowadays be done easily just in the process of downloading. For example even MS-users can add Down-Them-All! in Firefox and choose "Metalink" - that way SHA256 will be used and checked automatically (without any copy and paste or typing a long list of numbers).
- Many problems with openSUSE (while installation or after installation) are/seems to be/are possible related to a corrupted downloaded image. And that is producing much extra work for the busiest guys on the forum. Yes certainly, I will try. I think of something like:
" Verify your download (to be sure) You could verify the file in the process of downloading. For example a checksum (SHA256) will be used automatically if you choose "[[SDB:Metalink|Metalink]]" in the field above and use the add-on DownThemAll! in [[Firefox]]. [...] " I do not use (much) bittorrent, maybe someone else could give a sentence to that? I hope it is not so pressing - I will have to do some work not related to openSUSE first/on higher priority. Could we use a subpage of any user page like: http://en.opensuse.org/User:Pistazienfresser/Download_Help to work easiertogether/collaborative with versions, edits and discussion on one place? Maybe some from the forums could be integrated/invitated, too: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-help-here/install-boot-login/402179-d... Greetings pistazienfresser P.S.: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DownThemAll! - it is GPL maybe some addons could be part of the distribution, too. Maybe having not the need to load (unsigned) addons from somewhere else could improve security See: http://forums.opensuse.org/english/news/tech-news/440382-linux-malware-7.htm... -- - openSUSE profile: https://users.opensuse.org/show/pistazienfresser -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org
