I don't want to be rude or anything, but trying to use qemu to verify
download integrity might not be the "best" idea, but only because if an
ISO has a booboo later in the file then if its a boot-able CD it
probably will work fine tell later. :)
And you CAN use qemu on FC4T* but you have to specify that you want it
to use gcc32 instead of just gcc ( with is gcc 4 ). :)
