The should have been a file called CHECKSUM.MD5 in the directory that 
you downloaded the iso from. It has the md5 checksum that you need to 
check the downloaded mini-iso against. If you are using Windows to 
burn the iso, there are programs that do an md5 calculation available. 
It is a built-in on FreeBSD and you can read about it by doing a "man 
md5".
