I only kept trying with this dvd to find the root cause of the problem. I did the media check and it was bad. The error said "The media which was just tested has errors. This could be due to a corrupt download or bad disc..." So, the moral of the story is (as Tim suggested) test the media at least once. I have had bad media before that would not even start. But this one went on all the way. Is rather amusing how this "No root login" thing evolved to just a bad disc. I apologize for not having had the patience to do a basic media check. Thanks for your patience Jeff and everyone. ~af -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
