Thoughts following Roy Omond's message of 31 July...

Is it unreasonable to ask Dec to include the "correct" checksums
for all (affected) images with software issues and updates, in
printed form? This might help system managers to detect "hacked"
patches placed illegally in strategic places.

Of course, the CHECKSUM utility is very handy, but only if you
know what the "correct" checksums are.
