Interesting, on my FC2 system, I ran xcdroast (as root), added the iso 
directory to the setup, and burned each of the 5 iso's (4 binary, 1 
rescue).  Took them to my wife's Win98 machine, booted disc #1, and ran 
media check over all 5 of them, and they all passed.  No problem.  Are 
you burning the ISO file onto a CD, or are you burning the ISO files as 
CD images????  There is a difference.  What do you see when you mount 
the burned CDs under FC1?  How many files/dirs in the CD root dir?

Nope.  My burner is a 52x24x52x (w/burnproof support) and I burned to 
Memorex 48x CD-R media using default xcdroast settings.  I think I was 
even serving the files through BitTorrent at the time, though burnproof 
would've saved the burns anyways.
