Your ISO may be corrupted. Have you checked the md5checksums?

I think that too :(

[shlomitFedora]

the md5checksums of all 3 cds are the same as posted on the downloaded web site so i think they are OK.
can u please tell me where can i download a new iso files...
i have tried loading it from redhat site itself but there are problems with the site.
the iso files that i did managed to download were from one of USA mirror sites

I have the same problem :
burned the 1s CD (3 times in differents speeds). md5sum OK.

Boot on CD :
mediacheck failed
...
nstall exited abnormally
...
you may safely reboot yoer system

Where is the problem ?

[w5set]

Just wondering why someone would want to download and install FC1 or FC2 when FC3 is availible, and better at installing. etc?

Hallo,

my problem was RAM. I didn't has enough.
For Textmod u need 128 RAM and gfx i think 196.
I solved my problem by bying 128 RAM.

Your Problem is another one.
I think your CD Player ist defect or u have wrong CD's.

Try another linux versions Suse or something like that.
U know "learning by doing"

Greetings
