[[Admonition("note", "Downloading Large Files", "If you intend
to download the Fedora DVD ISO image, keep in mind that not all file downloading tools can
accommodate files larger than 2 GiB in size. {{{wget}}} 1.9.1-16 and above, {{{curl}}},
and {{{ncftpget}}} do not have this limitation, and can successfully download files larger
than 2 GiB. '''BitTorrent''' is another method for downloading
large files. For information about obtaining and using the torrent file, refer to

- '''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

Many of the bugs reported are actually due to improperly-burned CD or DVDs. To use this
test, select '''Rescue installed system''', press the
'''[Tab]''' key, change the boot command to read {{{ vmlinuz
initrd=initrd.img mediacheck}}}, and then press '''[Enter]'''.

to its normal state. On many systems, this results in a faster installation process from
the disc. You may skip the {{{mediacheck}}} option when rebooting.
