I've downloaded Ubuntu 7.04 32bit twice now but each time I try to burn to disk at medium and slow speeds I get an error message. I don't know how to do the MD5SUM thing in Ubuntu, to verify the contents. I did it in windows for the 64 bit version. (nb just realised the "Check CD for Defects" option on the intro screen. I'll do that now) What to do??? I am going to download another 32 bit version of 7.04 and read some more to see if I can ascertain how to check its integrity. I'm not particularly asking for help here btw, I'm just documenting my difficulties and successes as I go along. Though help is always welcome in any walk of life. AT the moment I have nothing on my 400gig drive and it seems I've been blocked from transferring my XP home from my old machine to this so I'll be using the full amount for Ubuntu. I read how to check the integrity of the download, but this does not really mean anything to me. [quote]Go to the download directory Then run the following command from within the download directory. md5sum ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386.iso[/quote] I downloaded to the desktop so what do I use to run the command. That is the question that bothers me. I opened up a Terminal window but I do not know if it worked or if that is the correct procedure. I guess it's time I introduced myself to the "Absolute Beginners Forum" now that I have registered.
