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 added your text in the sources, I think we should deploy it once there are some translations for it.
