Doug, I've changed my mind slightly and think we should start donating CDs to local libraries as Dustin has suggested before we come up with a system for verifying CDs. We can always re-burn more CDs later if we want to add a verification tool. Besides, including whatever verification tool we might come up with would break the original distro's publisher's MD5 sum. :P About the only safe thing we could do is to possibly later include the publisher's official MD5 sum on the CD label. Bill Leblanc made a good argument for not including it for now, since newbies won't really know what to do with it under M$ Windows.
