On a related note somewhat some of my friends downloaded the live KDE iso for
Fedora 11, but they were not sure how to check the download. I told them to
search for sha1sum.exe, but then it is really sha256sum that they need.
Where can one get the sha256sum executable for winblow$, aka the evil empire if
users download the isos via Windows?
Thanks,
