Checking Fedora Core CD Media

Checksum Fedora Core ISOs prior to burning them with md5sum (FC3 and earlier) or sha1sum (FC4 and later). When installing Fedora Core off CD media do a mediacheck. Recommended way to do the media check:
boot: linux mediacheck ide=nodma
So far I've not been using ide=nodma - which may explain the reason I've got a failure on working discs as well.
