Older Backup ISOs
These are the older Anaconda-based installers with an older version of Bluefin, but don't worry it will autoupdate. Try this if nothing else works:
Bluefin (AMD/Intel)
📥 Download: bluefin-stable.iso
🔐 Verify: Checksum
Bluefin (for Nvidia)
📥 Download: bluefin-nvidia-stable.iso
🔐 Verify: Checksum
Verifying Downloads with Checksums
Checksums allow you to verify that your download completed successfully and wasn't corrupted or tampered with. After downloading an ISO, you can compare its checksum to the official checksum file to ensure integrity. While optional, verification is recommended for important installations.
How to verify checksums using sha256sum
-
Download both the ISO file and its corresponding CHECKSUM file
- For example:
bluefin-stable-x86_64.iso
andbluefin-stable-x86_64.iso-CHECKSUM
- For example:
-
Generate the checksum of your downloaded ISO:
sha256sum bluefin-stable-x86_64.iso
-
Compare with the official checksum file:
cat bluefin-stable-x86_64.iso-CHECKSUM
-
Verify they match: The output from step 2 should match the hash in the CHECKSUM file. If they match, your download is verified and safe to use.
Example:
# Generate checksum of downloaded file
$ sha256sum bluefin-stable-x86_64.iso
a1b2c3d4e5f6789012345678901234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef123456 bluefin-stable-x86_64.iso
# Check official checksum
$ cat bluefin-stable-x86_64.iso-CHECKSUM
a1b2c3d4e5f6789012345678901234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef123456 bluefin-stable-x86_64.iso
