Confirmed.
Would be nice if the click on the boot.iso would lead to a similar page.

boot.iso release process is very distinct from the one for LiveCD and DVD at this time (moreover, it gets regenerated each time there's a kernel update I believe).

So grabbing checksums for this image is a bit more complicated. But indeed, it would really be nice, so let's keep this open.

If we get to setup a MirrorBrain(-like) infra (see bug 3166), this would be just done in a snap (because checksums will be managed in a centralized way and available through the service).

That is likely true for Cauldron but the links on the download page to Mageia/1 boot.iso's are to files created 30/05/11 the day 1 was released and there have been several kernel updates since then.

As the iso's in the release tree appear to be static there would be no Voodoo involved.

Ha right. Misled by past discussions about regenerating those.

No Voodoo, except these checksums were not provided on release time and no one bothered at the time. Will work something out for Mageia 2. Or I can fix it if you or a sysadmin can paste me the checksums here.

[wobo@marvin Downloads]$ md5sum boot.iso
a82ae1a364b5f3bf3d2b783c881c726d  boot.iso (Mageia 1, 32-bit)

[wobo@marvin ISO64]$ md5sum boot.iso
7de996b937b5e5d650514e7b3d6f2f15  boot.iso (Mageia 1, 64-bit)

Both isos downloaded by clicking on the link on the official download page.

Thanks. Added.
