Before doing an upgrade from the AMD-64 version of Ubuntu 6.10 I decided
to download and burn a CD to use if I needed to reinstall should the
upgrade not work correctly. I downloaded the file to the Downloads
directory off my home directory, and ran the md5sum program to check for
file corruption errors. There was corruption, so I re-downloaded and
repeated the above. Different numbers, but still no match to the
published MD5SUM results. Note the md5sum command gave different
results the first and second time I ran it on the same .iso file which
had been downloaded. After running md5sum a couple of times, the number
stabilizes. See the results below. Any ideas?
The published MD5SUM file contains this line:
a2b159599b69cea51371eee1ec5feda6 *ubuntu-7.04-desktop-amd64.iso
My results are:
