Heard a lot of fuzz about the linux Mint and thought about giving it a try. Downloaded the Elyssa .iso with correct checksum and thus burnt it. HOWEVER this is the output when checking the burned cd against the md5sum.txt:

md5sum: WARNING: 1 of 24 computed checksums did NOT match
....I.E. checksum for the actual md5sum.txt *itself* fails (./md5sum.txt: FAILED). I've tried downloading from two different official mirrors and burnt it in both brasero and nautilus, with same annoying faliure as above as result!!
This is very annoying. I will not install this distro if I can't ensure it's integrity! It seem 'just' to be on the md5sum.txt file but if that is the case how can I ensure the correctness of the rest...Any idea how I should proceed? Someone noticed the same or know about the cause?
