Then I went and burned them to CD and none of the CD's passed the media test!  Twice!  AHHHHHHHH! I downloaded them from mirrors.kernel.org, but who cares if the MD5 checks, right?  I am burning them on a Windows Box using Roxio CD Creator 5 and burning the image.  But no good has come of it, twice. Talk about frustration! Any suggestions?  BTW, I am not new to Linux or Redhat, I remember downloading over phone lines and using floppies years ago, so I am no novice to this. Thanks!

Maybe there's something wrong with your drive. I've had a burner once 
that would burn perfectly, but upon reading the discs, there was always 
trouble. Reading the discs on other drives worked with issues. Try 
another drive. Maybe your drives reading capabilities are going sour. Or 
burn at 1x, use standard good-quality CDRs, and hope for the best. If 
burning at 1x still results in what seem to be coasters, try another drive.
