Bug ID: 1282226
Summary: Incorrect Commands for Verifying Checksums on Windows
10
Product: Fedora Documentation
Version: devel
Component: install-guide
Severity: medium
Assignee: pbokoc(a)redhat.com
Reporter: ajstewart426(a)gmail.com

Description of problem:
I tried the instructions for verifying checksums on Windows (section 3.3.1) but
ran into a problem.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 23 iso download, Windows 10 computer
How reproducible:
Follow the instructions detailed in section 3.3.1 of the install-guide on a
Windows 10 computer.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Download the Fedora checksum file
2. Open a powershell session
3. Change to the directory containing the checksum file
4. Run the following commands:
$image = "Fedora-Server-DVD-x86_64-21.iso"
$checksum_file = "Fedora-Server-21-x86_64-CHECKSUM"
$sha256 = New-Object -TypeName System.Security.Cryptography.sha256CryptoServiceProvider
$expected_checksum = ((Get-Content $checksum_file | Select-String -Pattern $image) -split
" ")[0].ToLower()
echo "Expected Checksum: $expected_checksum"
Actual results:
"sha256sum"
Expected results:
"a91eca2492ac84909953ef27040f9b61d8525f7ec5e89f6430319f49f9f823fe"
Additional info:
The correct checksum is actually in the fourth and final position of the string
after being split. I recommend replacing the [0] in the instructions with a
[-1], assuming that you are able to recreate this problem. If not, let me know
and I'll try to provide a more detailed report.
