the .iso file is a CD image file, you need to use nero or something that
way in windows, cdrecord or something that way in linux to burn to a
blank CD.  You cannot just copy the file to a blank CD, you need to
write this as a disk image (windows default CD mastering tools
artifically prevent this (they create an iso image internally they just
dont give you the ability to write this to a disk :/ )

the md5sum is a file that contains the md5 checksum so you can make sure
your download is not broken before burning.  You need to get a md5
program to verify it if you dont have it.


Please note that asterisk at home will *erase* everything on your primary
ide drive, it does not prompt if this is ok, it just repartitions the
disk, formats, and then installs.  If this is unacceptable look for a
'live cd' distro that has asterisk.  There are some, knopsterisk is one
that comes to mind.
