If you install K3b CD/DVD burner this will generate the MD5 sum of the iso:
If you are going to burn a DVD for Zorin, I can only recommend one product and that is imgburn – get it from here: https://ninite.com
When using image burn, burn at the SLOWEST possible speed – this used to be 1x but most modern burners slowest speed these days is 8x. So even if you selected 1x imgburn is smart enough to automatically adjust to your burner's speed.
If you intend to install via USB/Thumb Drive, format it to FAT32 File System and then follow the guide here:
https://zorinos.com/help/install-zorin-os/ or alternatively use ‘Rufus’:
https://www.techrepublic.com/article/pro-tip-use-rufus-to-create-a-bootable- usb-drive-to-install-almost-any-os/
Whether installing alongside an existing Operating System or on its own, I always select ‘something else’ or ‘advanced’ dependent on what GNU/Linux system I am installing – it means you are in control with less likelihood of things going wrong.
