Reopen Issue

(Properly speaking, this isn't an issue specific to the KDE spin, but I couldn't find a better place to report it, as fedora-website seemed abandoned. Don't hesitate to move it elsewhere, if need be.)

"Verify your download" suggests the following command as the last step for Fedora spins:

sha256sum -c Fedora-Spins-41-1.4-x86_64-CHECKSUM

Now, running it in a directory with only the KDE image present will result in this:

sha256sum: Fedora-Budgie-Live-x86_64-41-1.4.iso: No such file or directory
Fedora-Budgie-Live-x86_64-41-1.4.iso: FAILED open or read

sha256sum: WARNING: 17 lines are improperly formatted

Not only is the output somewhat hard to read, it also may look menacing to the less tech-savvy users ("What's with all those 'FAILED'...?"), and I did see worried people asking about that on Reddit. On the other hand, adding --ignore-missing to the command in question would produce something much more concise:

Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-41-1.4.iso: OK
sha256sum: WARNING: 17 lines are improperly formatted

Thoughts?

Sounds like a good idea. The new repo for the website it at https://gitlab.com/fedora/websites-apps/fedora-websites/fedora-websites-3.0. Can you file this issue there? Should be a reasonably small change to make.
