    <section>
      <title>Downloading</title>

      <para>Once you have chosen your ISO file, you can download it using either http or
BitTorrent. In both cases, a window gives you some information, such as the
mirror in use and the possibility to change if the bandwidth is to low. If
http is chosen, you may also see something like</para>

      <mediaobject>
<imageobject> <imagedata fileref="Checking.png" contentwidth="650"/>
</imageobject></mediaobject>

      <para>md5sum and sha1sum are tools to check the ISO integrity. Use only one of
them. Both hexadecimal numbers have been calculated by an algorithm from the
file to be downloaded. When you ask these algorithms to recalculate this
number from your downloaded file, either you have the same number and your
downloaded file is correct, or the number is different and you have a
failure. A failure infers that you should retry the download.Then this
window appears:</para>

      <mediaobject>
<imageobject> <imagedata fileref="Download.png"/> </imageobject></mediaobject>

      <para>Check the radio button Save File.</para>

    <section>
      <title>Checking the downloaded media integrity</title>

      <para>Open a console, no need to be root, and:</para>

      <para>- To use md5sum, type: [sam@localhost]$ <userinput>md5sum
path/to/the/image/file.iso</userinput>.</para>

      <para>- To use sha1sum, type: [sam@localhost]$ <userinput>sha1sum
path/to/the/image/file.iso</userinput>.</para>

      <para>and compare the obtained number on your computer (you may have to wait for a
while) with the number given by Mageia. Example:</para>

    <title>Burn or dump the ISO</title>

    <para>The checked ISO can now be burned to a CD or DVD or dumped to a USB

medium.</para>

      <title>Zapsat ISO na USB flash</title>

      <para>All Mageia ISOs are hybrids, which means you can 'dump' them to a USB stick
and then use it to boot and install the system.</para>

      <warning>
        <para>"dumping" an image onto a flash device destroys any previous file-system on
the device; any other data will be lost and the partition capacity will be
reduced to the image size.</para>
