That's the output I get when I read in the working DVD I had burned from the official torrent.  The split command you had works.  Not sure what was causing the corruption with your parts.

man split

You definitely want the -b flag, and possibly -a 1 .  I just checked and it should be on most Dreamhost servers.

matsjo, mbgm8ndb:

I'm getting the same problem as both of you.  My MD5's match yours matsjo, even when I download from my shell account with Dreamhost.

Here's the MD5 I get for the final iso, when I cat them together, and when I use dd:
b7d36253bcd026acfd4c4275dc24be32  LinuxMCE_0704_Quick_Install_DVD.iso

One of the parts has to be corrupt.

dd if=LinuxMCE_0704_Quick_Install_DVD.iso.part1 of=lmce.iso
dd if=LinuxMCE_0704_Quick_Install_DVD.iso.part2 of=lmce.iso conv=notrunc oflag=append
dd if=LinuxMCE_0704_Quick_Install_DVD.iso.part3 of=lmce.iso conv=notrunc oflag=append
dd if=LinuxMCE_0704_Quick_Install_DVD.iso.part4 of=lmce.iso conv=notrunc oflag=append
