OK, I went in the /tmp area and to my pleasure I found the unmessed with
iso file. So I dumped it in the CD burner and now I have the CD I need.
I have moved the iso file to my/home directory in case I find there are
errors in the CD I burned when I come to install the OS..... In Debian
Etch installations I run the installer and check the integrity of each CD
before I install with them. There are some MD5sum things in the
repository but I am not sure how to use them to check the integrity of the
CD I burnt.
Maybe the new distro has been modified enough so it will properly check
the integrity of the CD itself. I will try it....
Now I can delete all these silly files created by this silly archive
software that nobody knows what to do with anyway....
Thanks

The md5 files are to check the integrity of the downloaded ISO:
$> md5sum <filename>
Hang on a minute. Does this mean I download some md sum files as well as
the iso file and then put the iso file and the md sum files in the same
directory and then run md5sum <mydistro.iso>?
If so, and even if the iso file is error free and if the CD burner thinks it
has burned the CD perfectly, there still could be errors in the CD image...
I test for these by loading the CD into the computer, booting with it,
loading the DEbian installer and then running the CD integrity check. I
have found errors in CD images by doing this. There was nothing wrong with
the isofiles I downloaded because burning the CD images for a second time
from them resulted in a perfect CD image that passed Debian installer
integrity test and successfully installed the OS.........
Is there a way to use md sum files to check CD image itself once it has been
burnt not just the iso file after it was downloaded?

It will take some time to check... the hash must be equal on both ends :-)
