1. What you should do is run the checksums on the iso file *before*
bothering to burn the CD.
2. The CD's media check fails sometimes even on good CD's.
3. Use the CD's you first made; unless you have a near to failing CD
drive, it is highly likely that the CD's you already made are right to go !
4. see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=111952741800002&r=1&w=2
and also the fedora-test list for more recent discussions.
