This {{{mediacheck}}} function is highly sensitive, and may report some usable discs as
faulty. This result is often caused by disc writing software that does not include padding
when creating discs from ISO files. To use this test, at boot time hit any key to enter
the menu. Then press the '''[Tab]''' key, add the option
`mediacheck` to the parameter list, and press '''[Enter]'''.
- After you complete the {{{mediacheck}}} function successfully, reboot to return DMA mode
to its normal state. On many systems, this results in a faster installation process from
the disc. You may skip the {{{mediacheck}}} option when rebooting.

To perform memory testing before you install Fedora, press any key to enter the boot
menu, then select ''Memory Test''. This option runs the
'''Memtest86''' standalone memory testing software in place of
'''Anaconda'''. '''Memtest86''' memory
testing continues until you press the `Esc` key.

boot from Installation Disc 1, the DVD, or a rescue CD in order to use this
feature.")]]
