I like the idea of including these on the install, but making them optional. Point A raises a point -- AFAICT, the md5sum on a burned CDROM is different than the md5sum of the downloaded ISO (I've pretty well convinced myself of this). Even worse, the md5sum *may* differ depending on which software you use to burn it, and which options you choose. I have a page on WikiLearn dedicated to learning more about these points: http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/Md5sumsAfterBurning Look it over, and if you can contribute any data points or understanding, please feel free to do it yourself as it is a wiki, or write to the list or me and I will edit the page.
