UBUNTU DOWNLOAD SCRIPT

#download ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala - desktop alpha 3
wget -c http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/karmic-desktop-i386.iso
#download md5sum
wget -c http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/MD5SUMS 
#check iso for integrity,  as in compare the checksum from the iso from the one in the MD5SUMS file
md5sum -c MD5SUMS 
once saved as something like download.sh you need to set permissions chmod 755 download.sh note: re-running the script will redownload the iso as karmic-desktop-i386.iso.1 or simiar also it won't re download the MD5SUMS file (for the integrity check) so remove it first rm MD5SUMS files will download to current directory, so i would put this in it's own folder / directory
