	Prior to burning your downloaded ISO image (or using it as a virtual disc in Virtualbox), it is '''strongly''' recommended that you first check that it hasn't been corrupted during the process of being downloaded. The consequences of not doing so - especially if you intend on installing Manjaro as your main operating system - should be obvious (i.e. a corrupted image will result in a corrupted installation).		Prior to burning your downloaded ISO image (or using it as a virtual disc in Virtualbox), it is '''strongly''' recommended that you first check that it hasn't been corrupted during the process of being downloaded.

	To do so, you must first download the appropriate ''checksum file'' from the same Sourceforge folder as your chosen ISO image. A checksum file will have the same name as the ISO image that it is to be used with; the only difference is that it will end in either ''-sha1.sum''' or '''-sha256.sum'''. For example, the appropriate checksum file for the ''manjaro-xfce-0.8.1-x86_64.iso'' file (64 bit Manjaro release 0.8.1 with the XFCE desktop) will be manjaro-xfce-0.8.1-x86_64'''-sha1.sum''', and/or manjaro-xfce-0.8.1-x86_64'''-sha256.sum'''.
