Fedora install problem

This is a discussion about Fedora install problem in the Everything Linux category; I just finished burning the Fedora iso's. It starts to boot from the first cd, then I get a bad media/check cable error. Are the iso's bad?.

that's lovely, outsane. Plus points for not making any mistakes that time.
 
but you did all that over a dialup connection just like bobeverywhere, right?
maybe only having burned maybe 3 bootdiscs before in your entire life?
 
oh, well then, didn't think so....
 
Considering an under $10 purchase versus the cost of spoiled media
and at least some value for your time was not an invitation for oneupmanship,
outsane. sorry.
 
My own experience is I've had better success using cdrecord under VMware
than I've had using a well-known burner under WinXP. YMMV.
 
But of course, one must have a successful distro install before you've got
cdrecord available to make new discs. Hence, the need to consider
a small purchase for a meta-bootstrapping.
