+It will be necessary to download and install a checksum utility application. Several free versions may be found on the '''[http://download.cnet.com/ Download.com website]'''. A very positively reviewed free checksum utility you may wish to consider is the '''[http://raylin.wordpress.com/2009/03/02/md5-sha-1-checksum-utility/ MD5 & SHA-1 Checksum Utility]'''.
-Once the integrity of the ISO has been verified, unless you wish to use Manjaro in a ''virtual machine'', it will then be necessary to installation medium such as a CD/DVD or USB flashdrive / datastick in order to run and/or install it on your system. A guide to do so is available '''[[Burn an ISO File|here]]'''.
+{{note|If you do decide to use the ''MD5 & SHA-1 Checksum Utility'', then you will only be able to use the code provided by the '''-sha1''' checksum file for your ISO. This utility does not support using sha256.}}

-Once the ISO file has been downloaded, checked, and burned, if you are new to Linux or Manjaro, then you may find the '''[[Installation_Guide_Assisted|Installation Guide for Beginners]]''' the most suitable place to start. Otherwise, there is also an '''[[Installation_Guide|Installation Guide for Experienced Users]]'''.
