Nigel, it's either, as someone else pointed, a problem with k3b, i'm
not so sure about this, i never used k3b's checking capability, or
it's a matter of either bad CD, or bad burner.
but i wouldn't rely on that to rule out a corruption. CDs are very
sensitive, and checksums become wrong if one single bytes is not read
correctly. and so far, no linux CD has ever succeeded in their self
checks, they always end up telling me i have a bad media disk. and
none of them failed to install :S
