Dear group,
Please have a look at this follow up thread.

When I download the .iso from http://mirrors.hns.net.in (since I live in India)

and used Kana CheckSum from kanasolution.com i saw the following md5 value
143609CA5B6BB4E5D7341117FE46D0E1

but according to this page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes

the value should be 8790491bfa9d00f283ed9dd2d77b3906

for

ubuntu-9.10-desktop-i386.iso

I really don't understand why there is lot of difference in the .iso file.

My instruction for those who are trying hard..

1)download the .torrent version but not the direct download if you are at indian zone

2)use Kana CheckSum from kanasolution.com to check the md5 checksum

3)Tick the "verify after write" when you burn the CD through nuro burn in windows xp

Hope that helps..
