On 12/3/06, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> opined:
digest this week. Well i asked another guy to burn FC 6 from another location on another media and ultimately on another CD writer. I put the cd and perform "cd check" process which comes with FC. It damn showed me error.
Language, language.
But installation went fine without any problem. I wonder why Fedora people give such tool? I never seen this tool in Slackware or in Mandriva linux.
Which is why I am now on FC5. The Linuxforu Mandriva 2007 DVD trashed my system (Mandriva 2006) as I had no way of detecting that it was full of errors underneath its scratchless exterior (the KERNEL was on bad sectors). Anyway, your disk might still have errors, but you might not have installed any of the rpms on the bad sectors. Sometimes, an error correcting (or better quality) optical drive might tolerate faulty discs.
This could take anybody in puzzle and totally can waste his/her time,money which is ridiculous. Anyway i just want to tell these all 5 cd's are working
It would be ridiculous, a la slackware and mandriva, not to include the disk check utility. Especially when you know most of the people would be installing from cheap printed discs they receive free with mags. Even Ubuntu original cds, which are of box pack quality, start getting scratched if kept for too long in the card envelope. I had some gummy substance sticking on the FC5 dvd that I cleaned with aftershave (30 min. exercise), and later the disk check told me that it was OK.
by next week. But remember, don't try to check those cd's through "cd check" utility. You'll get error with no doubts. Alright then,
Thanks, but no thanks. It is better to know beforehand if you're going to get into a jam.
