Mediacheck often fails on good CDs due to a won't-fix kernel bug.  I don't
usually have a problem, possibly because I finalize my disks, but if I did,
I'd probably use Paul Howarth's isograb script
<http://city-fan.org/tips/IsoImageFromMedia> .

Though I do burn a DVD, for my actual install I use "linux askmethod" and
install from a file on C:, a FAT32 partition.  It's faster and less prone
to disk errors. ;-)

Yes, or from the same computer if you aren't reformatting the disk.
