You mean you are now getting errors where previously you didn't, with the same DVD? Definitely looks like a burn problem. > So I am testing again the DVD > The DVD has not been burned with the same reader that I am using for > the install. Is it a probleme? Not in general, but yes it can happen, especially if you burned at high speed. Given the errors you're getting, I would definitely try burning another DVD at a slower rate. Remember that when you check the DVD what you're doing is reading it continually from start to finish, but when you're using it to install the installer is doing random access seeks all over the surface, which is more demanding (DVDs are not like hard disks). While I'm no expert in this area, it could explain the apparent inconsistency. poc -- 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 Have a question?
