Hi Rob,I think you need to make sure that you are downloading from the site you
want, and the site wants to download only to you.This means you can use a
secure SSH key for the download account for that site.It goes in your installer
and that should be all the security you need.Man in the middle will fail, no
one but you can get in.
If you think someone has stolen a copy of your installer, you change the key.If
you are properly paranoid, you monitor that account, and only let it have
download privileges.
Does this rather simple-minded approach meet your needs?
All my very best,Rob

(if there is an obvious solution to this, then i'm just missing it.)
i'm pondering how best to install a new linux distro on remote
hosts, under the assumption that there will be someone *at* the remote
site and able to invoke the program to kick the whole thing off --
that part is a given.
