The md5 files are to check the integrity of the downloaded ISO:
$> md5sum <filename>
Hang on a minute. Does this mean I download some md sum files as well
as the iso file and then put the iso file and the md sum files in the
same directory and then run md5sum <mydistro.iso>?
Yep.
If so, and even if the iso file is error free and if the CD burner
thinks it has burned the CD perfectly, there still could be errors in
the CD image...
Yes. However, as root you can also md5sum the CD.
# umount /dev/cdrom
# md5sum /dev/cdrom
or whatever. (You may have to unmount it, as it may be recognized
when you put it in.)

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
