Yes.  The same torrent dl (Fedora 10 i386.DVD.iso) that I burnt 2 copies of, 
the both summed ok, but _that_ drive didn't like them.  I switched to another 
Lite_on dual layer drive and it was fine.

S-C-network didn't ask if you want it onboot or not, like its maybe only 
2/3rds there or something, but there were no errors that got my attention.  I 
just vim'd the ifcfg-eth0 file to change the no to a yes, service network 
restart and it was then fine.  Bear in mind I was doing all this in the 
single user mode too.  Effects of that?  Don't have a clue.
