Hello all: I am making this post in adition to one that I just made, because I think this is important and want everyone that should see it to see it. Anyway, I downloaded the FC3 CD images the other day and made the four cd's. I checked the md5sums and they were the same. However, the first disc will only boot on two of my four machines. I don't it is a problem with a type of cdrom-drive, because I put multiple (different) cdrom-drives in my computer to try to get it to boot and had no luck. I even recorded the first disc on a different type of CD media, but the results were the same. So, I ended up installing FC3 on my laptop, because my destop machine would not boot from CD 1. Also important to note: I have never had any problems booting to CD from any of these machines. I made sure that they were properly configured to boot from CD in the BIOS and I tested it with another bootable CD. So, I know they are working properly. Thanx again! David B.
