I have downloaded the dvd iso image for Fedora Core 4, test 1, etc.
The
sha1sum hash on the completed torrent matches the published spec. The copy
of the same images hashes clean on the machine that I am using to burn the
image. [using Nero 5.5 under windows XP. All that is available here and
now.] I have made 3 dvd copies using different batches of blanks. None of
them passes the test. None of them produces a working machine. Although I
am able to install both FC2 and FC3 on the machine in question. Is there
something else that I can do or need to try?

NB: In order to create a usable installation I had to install to a pata
drive.

FC4T1 - up and running. I flipped a coin, grabbed a dvd and installed. The
warning about post-process was both right and wrong. Graphical login spun
right up, and I can take root. I will have to create a standard user later.
Network connectivity verified through lan firewall.
System looks like this:
Gigabyte GA-K8NS motherboard [nForce3 250 chipset]
AMD64 2800+
1.0G DDR400 ram
30G Maxator ide [lost the rest of the documentation]
70G Seagate sata
You recommended yum for update. I will try it. I have used apt/synaptic up
to this point.
The installation to this point is Personal Desktop [minimum - except for joe
as text editor of choice.]
