I downloaded a bunch of times from different mirrors and instead of burning to CD, I loaded the CD to a USB key. After the first downloaded image failed, and after downloading others, I did an MD5 checksum on all of them, and sure enough, none of them checked out. Errors did not exist in consistent places. I too fell back to netinstall with a kickstart script, so all went well in the end, but I find it's odd that both CD and DVD downloads from different mirrors did not transfer correctly (?) . What could be going on? Rob
