the default MD5 checksum before burning the CD.

Just ignore the MD5 if you don't have one for that .iso.

It is gonzo easier to spend a few bucks and order copies of a few
distros from some vendor.
Its too bad nobody offers a small download of just the essentials to
test the kernel and burning.

Here's one to try:

"TinyMe is a PCLinuxOS-based mini-distribution. It exists to ease installation of PCLinuxOS on older computers, to provide a minimal installation for developers, and to deliver a fast Linux installation for where only the bare essentials are needed."

This will even tell you the username and password. You do have to know how to burn a CD from the .iso download.
