Downloads will be verified against checksums and GPG keys when available. Checksums/signatures are downloaded as part of the process. The script will return warnings unless you manually import and trust gpg keys:
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
Debian: You need to import Debian signing keys to your GPG keyring:
gpg --keyserver keyring.debian.org --recv-keys DF9B9C49EAA9298432589D76DA87E80D6294BE9BConsider a periodic cleanup of old/obsolete images from your download directory, else disk usage will keep increasing over time (unless you intend to keep old distribution releases?).
Architectures and distribution versions are configurable in the script itself.
