 Thousands of people have downloaded and used that image since it was
 released a few months back, so the official release image seems to be
 okay.  There should be a checksum file in the same directory as the ISO
 image; could you check against that?
 
 It would be helpful to know where you downloaded the image from, and
 what method you used to do so.
