I've been through this five times now and on two of the tries, I've done just that and had the install fail. However, this last batch of ISOs came from a site reported in this list as being a reliable mirror, so I'm going to try skipping the mediacheck again and see what happens. If that fails, I'll get Roxio out, turn on the write verification so I *KNOW* my CD is properly burned. If that fails, then I'll try using a different CDROM drive in my target machine. I seriously doubt that's the problem because I had Windows 2000 Enterprise Server on this box and had no problems with the drive at all. But, one never knows, so I swap it out and see.... -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Shaffer, Paul D Sent: Monday, October 18, 2004 4:09 PM To: For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: RE: ISO Image Problem Try skipping mediacheck, just for grins and giggles.

I've also tried starting the install process which takes you into the mediacheck anyway. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
