Error in Linux install

Post by Iceberg »

According to my computer, the Fedora Core discs I burned this afternoon failed the media test (no visible defects).

Questions:

1: Should I ignore the test results and install anyway?

2: If not, should I download again?

3: If 2, then should I buy new CDs or use the next few on the spindle (I have six left).

My experience with such things is it's best to reburn the cd's, sometimes a few CD's in a spindle are bad, but the rest are good (I've noticed this when I go for the cheaper brand of cd's to use).

Reburn and give it another shot, if it does the same thing, buy a new spindle and give it another whirl.
