In the future, if you have a need to backup an OS for possible later

Ubuntu and its derivatives have specifically limited X so that it
cannot be run as root, only as a user.
This is why it complains, other distros that allow x to run as root
are the ones who don't complain because it can spawn root X elements.
this is done as a security choice.

One caveat with clonezilla - it cannot handle a disk to disk clone if the
source has 512 byte sectors and the destination has 4096 byte sectors. Many
of the new, larger, drives use 4096 byte sectors, and this is a problem
than clonezilla has not yet addressed (I have been waiting 6
The install will use the md5sum on the disk. I know with Ubuntu and
Fedora, both allow you to verify the disk. What the verify does is
run through that file and do the MD5 sum for all the files.
To verify your download, you should be fine running the MD5 command with
the info from the webpage.
You can also:
cd {wherever the CD is mounted}
md5sum -c md5sum.txt
