Hi all:
The mediacheck function was broken for DVDs under FC3 also but those DVDs
worked just fine.
Just finished downloading/burning FC4t1 DVD and sha1sum verified values
though I expect mediacheck may fail. Now I'll try installing and see what
happens.

Just a follow up. The mediacheck is still broken in FC4t1. Downloaded and
burned the DVD iso yesterday. Running sha1sum on all checked out.
When I performed the install and did the media check it failed that test.
BUT, when I again started to install and skipped the media check the
installation completed with no apparent errors. There do seem to be a few
bugs to be worked out yet but after all, this is a test version.
I did a complete install and a manual partitioning of the hard drives. I have
several partitions that I keep personal data, project data, downloads and
source files on. I don't format those partitions or the /home/tom (my
personal stuff) so that I still have it after the install.
Most of the bugs I have encountered so far have been with KDE. FC4t1 is
shipping with a beta version of KDE 3.4. Doing a full install but keeping
the prior /~/.kde settings, I may be inducing some of the bugs myself. I'll
be checking that in the next few days.
Theres also a problem with the ntpd daemon failing to start which I haven't
found yet.
