I believe, instead of using dd for copying to the usb-stick, one might want to
use dcfldd for it.
dcfldd is en enhanced version of dd with hashsum check during copy. It was
created for forensic matters, where no data may have gone lost.
no, you should simply verify the checksum after you write it if you
really want to waste time checking things. (the instructions include a
reference to a handy script to do this.) I think it's mostly a waste of
time as the installer validates packages as they're read from the drive.
there's a small chance that the initial stages of the process could be
messed up (the parts that do the validation) but the odds that they're
both corrupt and working well enough to run and validate the later
stages are low enough that I personally am not going to waste time
worrying about it.
