I usually run md5sum a second time against the medium after burning and it only takes a few seconds: # mount /dev/sdc /media # cd /media # md5sum -c md5sum.txt But then, the only good it ever did me was to reveal some kind of bug with md5sum.txt and the install CD not being in sync'.. :-) Just did one with Linux Mint 10 Ubuntu version.. and I've wasted about an hour trying to figure out why I have files listed in md5sum.txt that do not even exist..!
