Yes, that is what mediacheck in the installer does. As an alternative you can use isomd5sum to read the burned media and check the md5sum without booting into the installer. The md5sum is created by reading the whole disc (except for the area where the md5sum is stored), if that check is successful, you can trust that the burning went fine. I hope I understood your question correctly and this answer helps you :) -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
