    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    When you download an iso, torrent or direct, you need to run md5sum on the resulting image and compare that with the published md5 checksum that the download mirror provides. They have to agree. This is the most common cause of non-functioning Linux CDs or DVDs.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
