It's either what it's supposed to be (compare with the SHA1SUM file) or it isn't. If it isn't, the DVD is bad. Rinse and repeat as needed. Also, was the sha1sum run on the target machine or the source machine? It's not clear from your earlier posts whether or not the laptop already has a running Lnux system on it. If the check was run on the source machine and passed, there could still be a problem with the target machine. Plus you still haven't said if you checked the *media*. The physical composition of DVD blanks depends on the manufacturer and not all drives work equally well with all brands. http://www.cdfreaks.com/media/ has a lot of info on this kind of thing. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
