I have downloaded the dvd iso image for Fedora Core 4, test 1, etc. The
sha1sum hash on the completed torrent matches the published spec. The copy
of the same images hashes clean on the machine that I am using to burn the
image. [using Nero 5.5 under windows XP. All that is available here and
now.] I have made 3 dvd copies using different batches of blanks. None of
them passes the test. None of them produces a working machine. Although I
am able to install both FC2 and FC3 on the machine in question. Is there
something else that I can do or need to try?

You may be victim of several bugs. The DVDs are probably OK. The media
test is not working. Also, if you log into the gui without first
logging into a text terminal (CTRL-ALT-F1 for example) as root and running
yum update gdm
you will not get a useable screen. You must also manually add a normal
user as root - the firstboot program is also hosed.
Hope this helps. Try again with one of your DVDs.
