Just did that. And also ran md5sum against the iso (I know, I should 
have done that before I burned the CD. The md5sum matched the published 
one. Both were successful.

I thought I'd be able to run fsck from the live CD, but it wants me to 
log in. I haven't seen anything anywhere to use as the user name and 
password. I tried guest with no password, ubuntu with no password, and 
the username I used when I installed 10.04 on that machine. None of them 
work.

Does someone know which doormat to lift up to find the key?
