I grabbed the FC4 isos via BitTorrent, and verified the checksums. Now I'm attempting to write them to CDs. So I try a cdrecord -scanbus, and get: Cdrecord-Clone 2.01-dvd (i686-pc-linux-gnu) Copyright (C) 1995-2004 Jörg Schilling Note: This version is an unofficial (modified) version with DVD support Note: and therefore may have bugs that are not present in the original.
