FC5 Media Check Failure

[Knute Johnson]

My results burning CDs has been poor at best.  I can't get it to work 
under Linux and have to burn my FC CDs with Winblows.  Even at that 
most of them fail  the media check without the ide=nodma.  Even the 
ones that pass occaisionally are bad when I try to install.  The next 
time I'm going to have to try an FTP install.
