Description
- The section Verifying digital signature could just link to Verifying image integrity, and not repeat those instructions. The instructions may have to be adapted a little bit, to make it easy to follow.
- In the (currently repeated) instructions to verify the image integrity, don't mention
sha256fromoutils, only mentionsha256sumfromcoreutils(which is a dependency ofbase-systemto keep it simple.

Research direction
