From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Stuart Lamble Sent: Monday, January 03, 2005 9:46 AM To: 'For users of Fedora Core releases' Subject: RE: FC3-i386-disc2.iso recently wasted many cd`s while desperately trying to get FC3 downloaded and burnt to CD. Here is what I found - may help others who are on the same path. USE the MD5Checksums - Verify that your iso images each have the correct MD5 checksums. Secondly, I was unfortunate enough to write these images to CD using a windows platform - seems you must tell the cd writer software to write the image in RAW format. By default it wants to use DSO, or something like that, which writes successfully, but the FC3 installation CD checker FAILS. "Alcohol 120" seems to be smart in this case and let me see the error and change the writing to RAW. Hope this helps. > -----Original Message----- > From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of HaJo Schatz > Sent: Monday, January 03, 2005 6:42 PM > To: For users of Fedora Core releases > Subject: Re: FC3-i386-disc2.iso > > > ltm893@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > > > Group > > > > > > I am having trouble downloading a valid disc 2 ISO image. > When I use > > > the media check that comes with the install package, it returns a > > > FAIL.
