Hi Fraser,

If Fedora needs a propaganda minister, I vote for you!

Seriously though...

Have you tried the media check when the fedora installation starts? Do 
all pieces of media pass the test?

Have you successfully installed from those same CDs on another system?

Those errors you are seeing suggest either the ISO images you downloaded 
are corrupt, they were burned improperly, or the CD drive is having a 
particular problem reading them.

Some possible solutions:

- verify the checksum of the ISO images you downloaded
- burn them at a slower speed
- burn them on a different brand of media with a different chemical 
composition. Some drives have problems reading certain types of media.
- install a different cdrom drive in the target machine and try the 
install again

In most cases that works for me. If the machine is being really 
stubborn, you can copy the iso images to an external USB disk drive, 
boot off the install cd and install from that. I've done that when I've 
got cdrom drives that are either really slow or getting old and unreliable.
