Public bug reported:

I came across the downloads page while searching at google,
https://sites.google.com/a/mythbuntu.org/website/downloads

On that page, I see,
The ISO fails to boot.
    Please verify that the md5sums match.

I always verify downloaded isos before doing anything else.  However, I
don't see any link to sums and a 'Search' from that page returns, at
best, a link back to the page, where "md5sums" is written, see above.

A search at google on this particular iso, mythbuntu-14.04.1-desktop-
amd64.iso, does return a page at linuxquestions that has a "checksum":
http://iso.linuxquestions.org/mythbuntu/mythbuntu-14.04.1/ but no clue
what type, afaics.  I have more than a half dozen "checksum" utilities
on my machine.  After 5 or 6 tries, I did get a sum that matched what
was at linuxquestions but I sure don't think this fundamental process
ought to be so difficult to complete.
