The name is not critical. And you can always rename it 
after downloading.

It depends on your cd burning program if it accepts a 
file without the extension *.iso.

This file is optional. It contains a short ascii-string
of the md5-checksum of the iso-image (just for 
verification purposes). If you run the command

md5 <isofilename>      or sometimes
md5sum <isofilename>

on a unix-box then you should get the same checksum 
string printed out after a while.
