Fedora 3 (iso discs 2 and 3)

[Geoff Pitt]

Hi

I had major hassle getting the iso CDs burnt on my win98 machine to pass 
the media test.  Took about 10 CDs to get two good ones, so i tried the 
install any how (to blank HDD space) and it worked OK.  The first iso 
had passed but two and three which were both use for a workstation 
installation were OK.

Don't know if this is of any help but if you're installing somewhere you 
can't do any damage...

Cheers

Geoff
