Verify the download

After downloading FlickOS-64bit-v2.0.iso, check the SHA-256:

20a96701d0734d55a06f53a0d09c9577ac3e609bd5f7559566aef8956c374c74
echo "20a96701d0734d55a06f53a0d09c9577ac3e609bd5f7559566aef8956c374c74  FlickOS-64bit-v2.0.iso" | sha256sum -c

Or download SHA256SUMS from the same SourceForge folder and run sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS.
