Improvement idea: provide checksums for PXE install files #1

When you install by network booting a system via PXE and then download all necessary files, you do not use any of the .iso images checksummed here. It would be nice if checksums of the files necessary for PXE installing could be published in this repo too.

These files are:
BaseOS/${arch}/os/images/install.img
BaseOS/${arch}/os/images/pxeboot/vmlinuz
BaseOS/${arch}/os/images/pxeboot/initrd.img

I assume that the files would be downloaded from a local PXE/TFTP/HTTP server during installation. This means the admin preparing the images on the local server would compare the checksums to the ones published here.

This could be potentially done. The .treeinfo files have to be accurate as well for net installs to work, as they have checksums listed in them (.treeinfo can be found in the os directory for BaseOS/ARCH). Providing checksums for the image files could be beneficial here too.
