Hi, all,
I notice that in F7 and F8, there's no check sum in the primary volume descriptor in the rescue ISO. I *think* that there used to be a check sum in earlier releases. In any case, shouldn't we have a way of verifying the rescue disk in the event the SHA1SUM file isn't readily available?

It's worth checking to see if Anaconda's mediacheck would be able to handle the rescue image, or whatever we name it this time around (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Features/SecondStageInstallSource)

I don't think we've generally had it there in the rescue image. But you're probably right that we should.

Thanks. BTW, there's no implanted check sum in the src stuff either. Thanks for putting the check sum implanting stuff in /usr/bin when you split the package. It makes it useful for anyone wanting to use that verification strategy with whatever ISOs they might create, music, video, books or whatever.
