Hi, Michael:
Sorry for my late response to your question. I have been on vacation
following our Free Standards Accessibility meeting.
Running an md5sum check on your downloaded files should do what you
want. In other words, should you ever end up with mismatched iso images,
at least one iso image will not pass a md5sum check.
