Checksums do guarantee that the _image_ is good. But after you burnt an
image to CD/DVD, you need to re-run a checksum test in order to verify
that the burnt data are correct. Either use the built-in media-check
feature of the boot CD or read out the images again (e.g. with the readcd
utility). The checksum should still be the same.
