I checked the archives and noted that several people have had this issue with Dells I downloaded Fedora Core 1 and burned to CD, but each time it gets an error when it tries to start. I get this error: error 2 reading header: cpio: Bad magic Running anaconda, the Fedora Core system installer - please wait... exec of anaconda failed: Bad adressinstall exited abnormally sending termination signals...done sending kill signals...done I tried burning 3 different CDs (2 different brands, including one at 4x) and they all had exactly the same issue. The machine that the CD was burned on is itentical to the one I'm trying to install on. I previously have been able to run installs from Mandrake Linux, so I don't think it's a disc issue. Any ideas?
