No, the CD isn't booting at all... And, no I didn't check the md5sum values. The instructions seem to be targeted for existing Linux users, and I didn't know how to verify them on a windows machine. Thanks for the tip on winmd5. I found a copy of it w/ a quick google search, and I'm currently re-downloading the iso.

If so, check the disk. If you cannot, run winmd5 against the .iso and check it against the md5sum values available at the fedora site. They must match. It is possible to get a corrupt download, burn the image and read the disk in one or two machines and cause problems with others. > I suggest redownloading the .iso image and reburning the CD. As a further suggestion, I always do initial burns to RW media in case I got a bad image file and need to retrieve it a second (and third..) time. > > James McKenzie > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jeffrey Belback <jbelback@xxxxxxxxxxx> > Sent: Oct 20, 2004 8:54 AM > To: fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > Subject: FC2-i386-disc1.iso > > Has anyone else had a problem w/ > http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/iso/FC2-i386- > disc1.iso?
