I don't agree, I would like to check the images after burning without using
the installation procedure. Yesterday a brand new cdrw failed while burning,
and I needed a reboot in order to use the device again ;-(. This indicated
that I could throw away the cdrw, but if only one bit would fail I wouldn't
notice.

Still my original question stands: how to burn an iso so you can do a
md5sum on the resulting cd? I didn't find the pad option is cdrecord
when I tried during SUSE 9.3.
