I have never seen RH have a problem with cd's, but anything is possible
I suppose. I have used the cd integrity check, which actually does an
md5sum on the cd, and it has found bad cd's. Sure enough, I checked the
md5sum's on the iso's and they were bad. I redownloaded the iso's
checked them with md5sum and they were fine, burned the cd's and checked
it with the install, all was ok. If you can, check the md5sums of the
iso's you downloaded, you might be suprised.
