I just downloaded the ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso, and am having a hard time burning it, so I'd like to check that the file is intact, but I cannot find the md5sum of the file.

Is there a URL or official FTP mirror which includes the md5sum of the Ubuntu disk images?

In your case the md5sum is 59d15a16ce90c8ee97fa7c211b7673a8

Here you go: UbuntuHashes.

MD5 & SHA-1/SHA-256 hashes are available on http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.04/ if you scroll down to the list of files. Downloads & hashes for previous supported releases are also available on releases.ubuntu.com

If you hit any key while the LiveCD is starting, a menu will appear. There is a entry in this menu to check the media. It will auto-check the md5 sum.

Note that this will not protect you against forgery or a corrupt download, only against a defective burning.

If I have a corrupt download and it doesn't burn properly, I clearly won't be able to boot off it. – Jack M. Oct 25 '10 at 16:43

No. I have seem plenty of corrupted CDs that will boot nicely but fail while installing or just while booting some random program. Assuming that the corruption will happen in a place critical to boot is just wrong. – Javier Rivera Oct 25 '10 at 17:26

The 'releases' subdomain includes all the files associated with a specific release including the md5 hashes. Its also been the home of ubuntu's releases since 2004 so its probably not going away anytime soon. http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/

Here is the link to get md5sums, you can run md5sum and check against the entry in that file
