okay.... I ran it on the CD. A bunch of lines of text apperom ared with the word OK at the end. I suppose this means the check sum is good.
How do you copy text from the terminal (<cntrl><alt>T)?

You can also:

The install will use the md5sum on the disk.  I know with Ubuntu and
Fedora, both allow you to "verify the disk".  What the verify does is
run through that file and do the MD5 sum for all the files.
To verify your download, you should be fine running the MD5 command with
the info from the webpage.  So just do this:
  $ echo "548f0ac303fea840ef138e5669880a74  my.download.file" | md5sum --check
That should tell you if everything is ok

is this the file I look at to see if the md5sum is correct? Which one
would I compare?  Would it be possible to compare the numeral before
the cd is burned?
This is the contents of md5sum.txt:

Why are there so many md5sum?
if this is the correct file the md5 sum is incorrect.
This is what it says the md5sium is:

Download:
Md5 sums:
     * DVD 32-bit: ee3d6e2ca498bc7685b7f17cdb5f2eea
     * DVD 64-bit: 548f0ac303fea840ef138e5669880a74
     * CD no codecs 32-bit: 40562d26447207cb5111f94b93957a58
     * CD no codecs 64-bit: 641e0ab8f746b82c36fc3f0bbca70dc7

Is there someway to ensure it is correct?
