10.04 md5sum where is it?

marcus,

The MD5's are contained in a file within the directory where you downloaded the ISO image.

For Example: Lucid 10.04 LTS Desktop AMD64
Base Location: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/
Distro: Alternate ISO AMD64
ISO Image: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/ubuntu-10.04-alternate-amd64.iso
MD5 Text-File Location: http://releases.ubuntu.com/lucid/MD5SUMS

MD5-File-Contents:
a54366aa72d6b576ee8fc0215f8a13b9 *ubuntu-10.04-alternate-amd64.iso
5b2dadacfd692b4f2d5c7cf034539262 *ubuntu-10.04-alternate-i386.iso
3e0f72becd63cad79bf784ac2b34b448 *ubuntu-10.04-desktop-amd64.iso
d044a2a0c8103fc3e5b7e18b0f7de1c8 *ubuntu-10.04-desktop-i386.iso
0b0e0d36050d9980ec995262eb9f2e6b *ubuntu-10.04-netbook-armel+dove.img
9e0d6ac7b69bb7912d49369a6807e39d *ubuntu-10.04-netbook-armel+imx51.img
712277c7868ab374c4d3c73cff1d95cb *ubuntu-10.04-netbook-i386.iso
8ee25c78f4c66610b6872a05ee9ad81b *ubuntu-10.04-server-amd64.iso
15342636441181f7a19c65984b44e24c *ubuntu-10.04-server-i386.iso
e81f931b1de017520f6d4aa4f78c5c8b *wubi.exe

So in this case, the MD5 for the downloaded ISO is:

a54366aa72d6b576ee8fc0215f8a13b9 *ubuntu-10.04-alternate-amd64.iso

Actually, I clicked on a button (Download Now) to download the ISO. There was no directory to access.

You must have special access privileges, as I don't see any way to access the directories. Maybe someone can get the webmaster to change this.

Please ALWAYS verify the MD5SUM from Ubuntu website... http://releases.ubuntu.com/
