Okay, the .iso _file_'s checksum is fine.  How about the MD5 checksum
on the burned CD?  Put the CD in the drive and use:

	md5sum /dev/cdrom

You should get the same checksum as you get from the .iso file.

NOTE:  Use the raw DEVICE name "/dev/cdrom" for this.  DO NOT use the
mounted volume "/media/cdrom".

My guess is that the CD you burned is bad.  Do the checksum above to
find out.
