I provide this information reluctantly based on my previous experience posting to this community, which laughingly suggests it provides assistance, encouragement, and advice.
You are not the only one who has seen the responses of jaded individuals. They are just tired of seeing reports of problems without the type of supporting information that THEY would have liked to see. It happens to everyone after some years of seeing so many problem reports. So my advice is for you to develop a thicker skin and ignore them. Keep posting your problem along with more information such as messages in /var/log/messages which might shed some light on the nature of the problem you are facing. Ultimately, someone will have the insight and be able to provide help. From my experience with this list, there really are not that many people on this list that post solutions to people's problems. So, have patience.
My $.02's worth: have you tested your CD/DVD drive for flaws or other problems? WHat about the burned CDs DVDs. Did you run the sanity check on them? Anaconda has that built-in when you boot from the Fedora installation CDs and DVDs.
Cheers,
