FC3 disc1 has error - md5sum is correct

[Shaffer Paul]

Yes, it would probably be helpful to note this all-too-common pitfall applies to the IDE CDROMs, istead of simply saying "mediacheck is broke, check the archives."

Has anyone has this problem with SCSI?  My SCSI CDROM drives on three different controllers have all passed discs with mediacheck, no prob.

The disks are fine, but there seems to be a bug of some kind in the 
current ide stuffs, its a workaround only for the install, you can 
turn it back off once installed as told here previously.
