What OS are you using to check the md5sum with? If you use windows there is a utility that's simple to use called md5.exe.
MD5GUI

Can you show us the exact command you typed? You need to add the name of the iso file, and you should be in the same folder.
For example, if your folder is /home/flinix/download/, and the file is distro1.iso, type:
Code:
cd /home/flinix/download
md5sum distro1.iso

If the md5sum doesn't match, the download isn't "true" and so will give you problems. The fix is to redownload it.
