why so much hassle?u can verify with md5sum,kubuntu md5sum is given in ubuntu.com download cd image page.compare it with the md5sum of ur kubuntu cd which u got from shipit.
I assume,u already have a hdd install of any linux distro.so,insert the kubuntu cd in the drive and let the drive mount it.now,run in a terminal(konsole?) "md5sum /dev/hda" or /'md5sum /dev/dvd" and wait for whether the verification is successfull or not. :)
