I haven't had any problems with F-7, but with FC-6 I got CD read errors in several cases even though the disk passed the media check. It would have been nice in those cases if one could have re-tried the read (eg by taking the disk out and putting it back in), as one can on Mr Gates' system, but unfortunately Fedora seems to require you to start again from scratch if there is a bad read. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
