+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #578151 +++ Created an attachment (id=403477) screenshot Description of problem: Anaconda Stage 1 offers to test the checksum of install media. When you hit Test and you have no media in your drive, you get this message (see screenshot): "Error: Unable to read the disc checksum from primary volume descriptor. This probably means the disc was created without adding the checksum." What's wrong about that: 1. *primary volume descriptor* - that's hacker's language, not end user's language. User has no idea what you are talking about. Please rephrase to more user friendly language. 2. The message should be different when: a) there is media in the drive but it has no checksum support b) there is no media in the drive Currently, the same message is used for both cases, which is wrong. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): anaconda 13.37 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. When anaconda offers you to test media checksum, remove media from drive. 2. Hit Test. --- Additional comment from rvykydal on 2010-03-30 08:54:26 EDT --- (In reply to comment #0) > What's wrong about that: > 1. *primary volume descriptor* - that's hacker's language, not end user's > language.

This will be fixed when I push already review-acked changes in isomd5sum and related anaconda changes (which will happen as soon as I get ACLs needed to build Fedora isomd5sum). I'll keep this bug to track 1. and clone another bug to track 2.

Should be fixed in version 14.3-1 of anaconda.
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 14 development cycle. Changing version to '14'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
I tested with anaconda-14.22 and this is fixed. Closing this bug.
