I downloaded the Fedora Core 3 *.iso CD images successfully from the various mirror sites and successfully ran the sumchecker md5sum on each file -- all were successfully checked.
I then proceeded to burn each image to CD using Ahead Nero 5, it has a function to burn discs specifically from image files.
I then followed the instructions to very the integrity of each of the CDs I created by booting from disc 1, and at the boot: prompt, I ran the command "linux mediacheck"; however, all 5 discs (4 installation discs and the rescue disc) failed the mediacheck command.
Has anybody else experience the same problem? Shall I continue using these CDs anyway, since the original files I downloaded all passed the checksum test?
Try "linux mediacheck nocddma" instead of "linux mediacheck" and see if that reports your CDs as OK. If they are, you should be OK to install with them.
