I appreciate the tip - I think I've just jigdo'ed the server CD from
http://ubuntu.osuosl.org/releases/8.04/ (which already has the mirror of
the final LTS), but the md5sum isn't what it's supposed to be. 

Perhaps that's a function of the way jigdo produces the new ISO file -
can someone more experienced with jigdo comment?
