And that's why the install has the "test media" option! Sometimes they just don't burn right.
When you try to read the DVD, do you see a list of files and directories or just a .iso file? If the latter, then you didn't create the DVD properly. You should be able to right click the .iso file and select BURN.

Thanks for the quick response. I did right-click and burn the iso file. So; it should have the contents of the iso file on the DVD, but I didn't verify that either because I've burned lots o iso file in my days (still should check though). I don't think I verified it using SHA1. I just saw the http://fedoraproject.org/en/verify page. So; I'll do that. Do I have to run the commands as root? I saw in another mailing list -- something about running those commands as root.
