Walt,<br><br>Try to verify the burn by hashing /dev/cdrom with the CD inserted.<br><br>md5sum fedora.iso<br>md5sum /dev/cdrom<br><br>They should come out to be the same if the burn was successful. This should also work with sha. <br>
<br>If you get "/dev/cdrom: Input/output error", take a look at my blog post, <a href="http://cyounkins.blogspot.com/2009/02/brasero-or-how-i-learned-to-stop.html">Brasero Or: How I learned to Stop Burning Coasters and Love K3B</a> as the problem may be with the burn mode not being DAO.<br>

<br>
Wonder if anyone else tried this?<br>
I D/L Fedora 12 Live CD in order to first, take a look<br>
at the first screens and operation, and then do an install basic<br>
from the CD.<br>
<br>
This is the gnome version since theres no "KDE" in the iso filename.<br>
<br>
I plug in the CD to 2 different desktops, and a laptop.<br>
The basic result in all three is the same: sit there for 20 minutes<br>
and basically do nothing w/ one exception.<br>
<br>
Basically, one desktop box will get to some window asking for full name<br>
and to create username and password. After that, it again<br>
sits forever, with a very occasional CD light blink. ( 2.6 gig, 512meg)<br>
<br>
The older laptop (800 Mhz, 256 megs) stops with printed error messages...<br>
something about bad "fb"..<br>
<br>
It seems really odd that to bootup a live CD that it would ask for<br>
a persons name and to create a username.<br>
<br>
now, I got the iso, and I have not done a checksum check before..<br>
never needed to... so I *think * I did this right...<br>
<br>
I got the right kind of messages (??):<br>

===================================<br>
<br>
While I don't think there's anything I can do to fix it,<br>
at least I can report that I tried it, and the result.<br>
<br>
I'll try to get a "standard install" DVD..<br>
<br>
thx,<br>
