Who cares whether the media check works? If it fails, but the distro still
installs, that is not a blocker. I remember how, in the early Fedora days,
it was entirely normal that the media check would always fail and that we
all learned to just skip it and stop wasting our time on it. (And if it is
such a time sink, I would argue to just drop it and boot directly to the
installer.)
Generally, I'd have to agree with this. I have still skipped it in every
installation I've done, and I'm pretty sure it actually works now.
