I Downloaded the first torrent on the torrents page. the i386 one, Burn it to a DVD at 16x speed.
Put it in a 16x DVD Drive
Boot from DVD.
I get into it fine, I skipped the Check knowing it's a slow drive.
Fill out everything.
Get to the install part, and It can't find some now lost (forgotten) .rpm file.
So I imagine, It's the DVD I go back and burn another one at 8x speed.
Check the CD, It says it's Okay to use, I get to the install screen... Another .rpm is missing.
So this is annoying for a novice linux user, I decide, We'll I'll burn it 2x.
2x Skip the check, Goes through fine... Gets to the install... Another .rpm missing...
This isn't as frustrating as it has been time consuming for me... Maybe when I'm a good state of mind that's not altered by lack of sleep... either way, Can someone tell me how to get past this? (It's probably something extremely simple that I'm missing..)
Edit:
Well I was using a laptop with an external drive and burning the ISO stored on the drive to a DVD, I started fedora with askmethod and all was right...
I knew It was simple... But why were my DVDs failing?
