Yeah, I just want to know how to get the actual SHA-256 of the Qubes ISO. I don't know how to use DIGESTS. Is verifying the master file and sig file a different process than comparing the sha-256? Do they provide the same level of security. Sorry, I know it's a pain bc I don't know much, but a yes or no is fine, I just want to be sure either process is fine. Checking sha-256 would be easiest for me since I already have it for the file I downloaded. And what is top-posting? Thanks.
