First FC3 would not even get to the installation and now FC4 keeps saying it is corrupted.
I downloaded the 4 discs that make up FC4. I burn them to cd and ran the install. The very first disc was corupt.
I need a way to A.) Check the download so I know it is not corrupt and B.) Check the cd to make sure it burned correctly.
Thanx for the help

Your CD Burning Software should check if the CD was burned properly. | | | Distinguished Member with 4,327 posts. | | Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Somewhere south of Hell Experience: Bringing Linux to the Masses | | ok, ran sha1sum on the file in question. It matches the sum on the webpage.
When I burned it with kb3-iso there where no problems recorded. What else could be wrong? | | | Distinguished Member with 15,988 posts. | | Join Date: Jul 2002 Location: Ann Arbor, MI Experience: Advanced | | Your CD is fine then.
What's the error message? |  | Senior Member with 1,962 posts. | | Join Date: Aug 2002 Location: Back East,Way Back East | | Quote: |

What speed are you burning at? Try 8X or slower.
HTH

Once again, Kb3 says everything went fine but fedora's media check gives it a "Fail". I am running out of discs, and patience. I tried installing anyway. Went fine untill it got to the fourth disk. Said that it wasnt the forth disk (WTF). Though that might be error on my part, I am very sure I burned all the iso's and labled them correctly. Will try to burn another disc 4 shortly.
BTW: Lynch, thanx for placeing that link to the SimplyLinux book in your sig. I have found it very usefull.

| | | Distinguished Member with 15,988 posts. | | Join Date: Jul 2002 Location: Ann Arbor, MI Experience: Advanced | | IMO you should switch from LILO to GRUB. Some people have had trouble getting LILO to recognize more than Mandrake/Windows.
You can switch to GRUB in Mandrake's control center. |  | Junior Member with 9 posts. | | |

#10 | man lilo.conf for details on syntax.
I've had no problems with LILO. | | | Distinguished Member with 4,327 posts. | | Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Somewhere south of Hell Experience: Bringing Linux to the Masses |

#11 | switched to GRUB, have the same problem I had before. I dont know the syntex to tell lilo or grub to boot fedora core 4. I installed FC4 to HDB. I dont know if the primary part is 1 or 2. Any help?
EDIT> Ok, switched back to Lilo, set up a new Non-linux boot at hdb1, Fedora booted. Got some more problems, but FC4 is installed an running. Thanx for the help.
