is it ok to not verify the iso?

[tropic mortar]

i'm on windows and i've followed tutorials and i still can't verify it, how much of a risk is it if i don't verify it?

[slender pond]

if it works correctly, it's okay

I recommend you to try ventoy, you can just press "Verify checksum" there and it'll do it itself

[unreal egret]

it is fine but it is best practice to verify just to make sure the iso didnt corrupt

if youre downloading from a torrent verification is not needed

(the error is the system cannot find the file specified)

[slender pond]

because you need to input the correct file name.

is this your first time using a command line?

[tropic mortar]

no

it is the correct file name

[slender pond]

show me alongside the directory contents

it would take less time to verify the ISO than ask if you should verify the ISO. You should always do so when downloading over the web because it takes 30 seconds to verify and can save you hours of wondering why something doesn't work

ok yeah i found my issue

i didn't add the directory to the file name

instead of Downloads\linuxmint-22-cinnamon-64bit.iso i put only linuxmint-22-cinnamon-64bit.iso like the tutorials said

the iso passed the tests

close this then
