The 4 ISOs I downloaded (from ftp.nrc.ca) all passed the MD5 test, and
the CDs I burned all passed the media check. I also was able to update
an FC2 box to FC3T1 with those CDs without problems.

I used K3b on an up to date FC2 machine, writing to an HP CD-Writer Plus
(8100 series).

I have no idea why so many people are having trouble; I am just offering
this information as another data point.
