Then, making sure the CD you just burned isn't mounted:
in terminal, dd if=/dev/scd0 bs=2048 count=n | md5sum - (note the " - " on the end, don't leave it off.
change the /dev/scd0 to whatever device setting your drive is on your system. and where n is the number of sectors calculated above.
All 3 md5sums should agree, ie, the published, your iso file, and the CD. If they don't agree you have either a duff write, or duff iso file.
Hope this helps you,

`md5sum /dev/scd0` works fine here, no matter if the CD is mounted or not.
Adolfo
It can work, but not always, it depends upon how the CD was written in the first place. How the device is set up to be mounted.
