I just downloaded and burned feisty-desktop-i386.iso of 21.7. I keep
getting one checksum fail when I check the disk no matter what I do. I
have downloaded the file three times and burned it to two different
disks (from different manufacturers). Could it be that the file is
corrupt? I have downloaded and burned feisty twice before this without
problems. Actually, to my remembering, I have never had a checksum
problem with any of my ubuntu disks before.

Is anyone else having problems with this file? In the meantime I might
give herd 4 a try to have something to move on with.

You can mount the ISO itself before burning and check the checksums.

$ mkdir iso
$ sudo mount -o loop ubuntu-6.06.1-desktop-i386.iso iso
$ cd iso
$ md5sum -c md5sum.txt
...
lots of output
...

If everything's OK, then the ISO is fine, and the problem may lie with
the burner or media.

If you want to check the iso before burning, just run md5sum on it:

md5sum ubuntu-7.04-whatever.iso

, then compare to the appropriate md5sum at
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes . There's no need to
mount it.
