That is what I want to do, not a self-test, but before I burn the iso, I
want to verify the checksum.
I have this
[rocketmouse@archlinux downloads]$ sha1sum

You don't need one, you run :
/usr/bin/md5sum /file/you/downloaded
in a shell. That will give you the number to compare. ;)

True.
But have you done a self-check. This a first step:

You misunderstand me.

Aside from the methods exhaustively detailed in the links I've provided

Hi Kailash,
I checked out the netbootcd site, and
The photos are not that good but I guess the capacitors are broken, they
seem to leak. Are some caps curved? It's unlikely that there would be
flux.

I've renamed the file to ~/.xsession after reading the information Bob
kindly supplied and it's all working great, as normal.
I draw the line at soldering. I can do legos, insert cards and cables into
sockets or slots, and tighten screws into pre-drilled holes, but anything
bordering skilled work is beyond me. You should see the case I tried to use a
drill to make a window and a hole for a huge exhaust fan. Not pretty.
