This is normal with Fedora core 3.  I hope they get this fixed in the next 
release.  The same thing happened to me.  The first disk passed, and all 
the others failed.  As long as the MD5SUM checked out Ok, go ahead and 
install.  It installs fine.  There's nothing wrong with the disks.  There's 
something wrong with the program that checks them (or the CD-ROM Ide 
drivers???).
