If it is not installed it should be installed through Synaptic and it automatically generates checksums when it creates an iso file.

Yep, I'm already recruiting! Anyway, after doing the burn, Brasero checked the integrity of the disk which, I assume, included running an md5. This probably isn't a safe assumption, but just thought I'd report. Mark Cogito ergo Linux
