disc 4 (700M CD-RW)
disc 5 (650M CD-RW)
The discs were checked on the new PC with bugs found. Download another
set on FC3 PC. Bugs were still found on new PC during media checked.
Download another set again with the same result.
Continued installed FC5_64 on the new PC as workstation. During
changing to disc2, a package can't be opened, needing reboot. After
several trials finally I got FC5_64 installed. But it failed to boot.
During booting
....
ACPI: unable to load the system description tables

finally it hung on;
detecting eth0 ...... [FAILED]
another time it hung on;
Bringing cups.........
The new box is working on running Ubuntu LiveCD with Internet
connected.
Please help. TIA

No need to download again if the sha1sums are correct. Either the burner
is bad, or you should look at the ide=nodma option for checking the
discs (but not installing).
