Anything is possible but I doubt it. :-) For giggles why don't you try running md5sum on it. A simple "md5sum /dev/cdrom" will get it for you and if the md5sum for the cd is the same as the one redhat publishes for the iso then the cd is good. Also are you burning the cd in DAO mode?? You might want to try burning from (shudder, oh no not that) a command line. Something like the following is what I use: "/usr/bin/cdrecord -v --eject -dao dev=0,0,0 speed=8 iso_name" I have it setup in an alias so I do not have to remember the command. This worksforme (tm). Besides AFAIK most of the gui burning software simply calls cdrecord anyway. Of course you will have to adjust the device and speed for your system. Also if you are having problems burning burning at a slower speed will sometimes help.
