'''Anaconda''' tests the integrity of installation media by
default. This function works with the CD, DVD, hard drive ISO, and NFS ISO installation
methods. The Fedora Project recommends that you test all installation media before
starting the installation process, and before reporting any installation-related bugs.
Many of the bugs reported are actually due to improperly-burned CDs. To use this test,
type {{{linux mediacheck}}} at the `boot:` prompt.

- You may perform memory testing before you install Fedora Core by entering
{{{memtest86}}} at the `boot:` prompt. This option runs the
'''Memtest86''' standalone memory testing software in place of
'''Anaconda'''. '''Memtest86''' memory
testing continues until the `Esc` key is pressed.

- Fedora Core [[GetVal(DocsDict,BeatsVer)]] supports graphical FTP and HTTP installations.
However, the installer image must either fit in RAM or appear on local storage such as
Installation Disc 1. Therefore, only systems with more than 192MiB of RAM, or which boot
from Installation Disc 1, can use the graphical installer. Systems with 192MiB RAM or less
will fall back to using the text-based installer automatically. If you prefer to use the
text-based installer, type {{{linux text}}} at the `boot:` prompt.
