I suppose I'll have to re-download the iso if the md5sum doesn't match
(which it doesn't per <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/
UbuntuHashes#9.04>)? The problem is that the iso is corrupted?

thu...@arrakis:~/Desktop$ sudo mount -o loop ~/Desktop/ubuntu-9.04-
alternate-i386.iso /media/cdrom0
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

I wasn't quite sure how to run fsck without a live cd...
out of curiosity, when I tried to download via the torrent the speed
seemed exactly the same as directly downloading the iso but the progress
was painfully slow versus directly downloading the CD (which I'll do
again).
thanks,
Thufir
