I got the iso's for FC6 (already had them from a long time ago but the disks were damaged and covered in dust) from Redhat's website, the first and 5th disk are fine, I burnt them all straight from the iso to a CD/R.

Now I can't install, I don't have more disks, and I've wasted SO MUCH bandwidth by downloading this and cant afford to download from another source.

Why wont my disks work? I put them in a windows machine and it shows all the files there, even the EXACT file my installation is saying isn't on the said disk - which after restarting and testing are FAILING.

Did Redhat upload bogus ISOs?


EDIT: Second try at installing they decide to work O.o still failing check at startup though, lets hope the installation goes through, 2mins left

I downloaded the FC6 ISO's from the RedHat site - worked fine.

Have you tried re-burning the ISO's to the CD at a slower speed?

The other day, someone had the same problem. I mentioned in my post something like, "Burn CD Image" for the action used in the burning suite/software. This person came back the next day and said he got them working after burning a CD image using the ISO instead of extracting all the files from the ISO and copying them to a CD with winrar. You can also verify the ISO integrity from Windows with a free checker available here if you have not done so already. In a Linux system you can check by typing:
Then compare it to the sha1sum at the Fedora download mirror.

Also, if you choose to install the packages later and uncheck "Office and Productivity", all you need are the first 2 CDs
