Run MD5Sum on the ISO image to see whether it downloaded correctly.

I've downloaded and burned FC3-disc2 three times and burned two CDs. All three
downloads (from two different sites, Red Hat for one) generate the same MD5 sum
in k3b and the checksum agrees with the one posted. Nonetheless the FC3
installer media check claims there is a problem with the discs, "bad checksum."

Any idea why? Burning coasters gets old fast...
