The checksum of all CD images are given in the fedora website - http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/11/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-11-i386-CHECKSUM If you are using windows, you might need utilities to calculate sha256 sum. Get the tools from here http://blog.nfllab.com/archives/152-Win32-native-md5sum,-sha1sum,-sha256sum-etc..html For calculating the sum, follow the instructions here http://www.labtestproject.com/using_windows/step_by_step_using_sha256sum_on_windows_xp.html If the calculated sums are matching the ones given in fedora website, the images are good and you can burn them to CDs using Nero. I feel the netinst CD, Fedora-11-i386-netinst.iso, is not required in your case. If you are downloading the DVD image, the CD images are not required. You need to burn only the DVD in that case. The choice is either a DVD or 6 CDs. -Jayakrishnan -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
