I rarely use a physical DVD - and usually do installs via a usbkey or via an HD install with the iso on a partition that is not being formatted, and then booting a grub stanza added to grub.conf - the iso checksums are confirmed with sha256sum whenever I pull the iso files - but you are right that I should have also done a media check on the burned DVD when installing using an optical drive - lesson learned! -- mike c -- 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
