Running md5sum on an iso image and comparing it with the md5sum file published with the iso will work. In my experience running md5sum on a CD sometimes fails, because it may not properly detect the end of the disk. If you dd off exactly the right size of data and md5sum that, it should work. md5sum -c md5sum.txt is effectively the same test that's performed by the menu item inside the installer. It also does some other minor tests, including checking for .disk/, and debian/ subdirectories. -- see shy jo
