I did read that the media checker wasn't entirely reliable. Someone else mentioned that there could be a problem with just one file on the CD, but may not cause a problem with installing the system, although the media checker gave a fail. Why though the first CD on one make of media passed, and the other 4 disks failed on a different make of media is puzzling. I ignored the fails on the other 4 CD's, and went ahead with the install, and had no problems. I don't even bother with the media checker now, and just go ahead with the install. And Yes, I too have downloaded the 6 CD images for Fedora 9, didn't do the media check, and Fedora 9 has installed ok, although I don't like KDE4 too much.
