I am trying to create the 5 CDs necessary for a new Fedora Core 5 installation, and can never get a good burn. The media check always fails, during installation.
Once thing I noticed is that the ISO images appear to be a bit larger than 650MB, which is the recordable size of the CDs I am using. I will try 700MB CDs, but I wonder why the images would be distributed to be over 650MB, and if this is really the issue.
I tried burning the CDs using 3 different burners on 3 different workstations, with the same results. Is there a recommended media manufacturer? I am burning at the slowest speed (16x) possible as well.
I have never had so much trouble burning CDs before! In fact, this got so crazy, that I finally gave up and purchased a Fedora book on Core 2 which contained the CDs, and they worked perfect. But I am now running 3 versions behind. This has been an extremely frustrating experience, to say the least.
This is so much trouble, that I wish there was a company that produced and sold a commercial Fedora release on CDs.
Sincerely, Bjorgen T. Eatinger
