Hi,

you always should download SHA256SUMS and SHA256SUMS.gpg to check
complete integrity against a signed SHA256 checksum.

Since I plan to make a dual-boot USB stick with NomadBSD and BlackArch
Linux, if possible at all. I stumbled over this issue:

Btw. my first plan was trying to make a dual-boot USB stick with
NomadBSD and Lubuntu, but it would be too nasty to get the same tools
and "jokes" such as 42zip, a recursive Zip archive bomb. 
https://packages.ubuntu.com does return different software for the
abbreviation "dos", than what I expect.

The signed checksums for Lubuntu and Ubuntu 20.04:
