I downloaded the 5 iso images for Fedora Core 6 from Redhat and then verified the SHA1 checksum values against the ones listed on all 5 disks. I then burned the images to CD using a freeware ISO burning program. When I boot from the first CD and run “linux mediacheck” all 5 of my CDs fail. I then burned the first ISO image to another CD using a different burn program and it failed as well. Also, when I try to boot the CD from my cd drive I get errors, but when I boot from my dvd drive it boots, but then fails the mediacheck.
I’m running on an HP pavilion desktop system under Windows XP pro, if that means anything. Right now my PC is configured to dual boot XP and linux (Fedora Core 2) but it has been a couple of years since I installed the first version of linux.
