I need to reap the iso image from the media - the same that was burned - to check its sum latter. - Otherwise I will get wrong check sum though the iso might be original. Therefore I need to know exact quantity of bytes the iso occupies. On their site it is shown in megabytes - that gives no info that I need. Probably, I have to find the ubuntu's ftp archive w/ those iso-s. 2. I believe I do: 1 Mb = 1048576 bytes.
