I saw no such problem. I believe you may have a bad burn. Did you run the media check from the banner that pops up? If not, I suggest you do so. If that banner never pops up, you have a bad burn. To burn more reliably, find another machine that can burn the iso, and that can reduce recording speed to 1 or 2. Slower recording speeds produce less errors in recording. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
