Re: (Newbie) Media Check Failed

[Alan Bort <333101 personal net py>]

a little off topic... but good to know. Due to the crisis my country is
going through, I have no access to Verbatim CD's (from my point of view,
the best ones). But I do have to Nahua, Maxell and Imation... Which one
is better? I had no problem burning common data (i.e. mp3, mpeg, jpeg,
avi, etc). But I know the isos are not always recorded correctly at high
speeds. So.. I think I'll try recording them at low speeds (1X) but I
will grow old waiting.

Would downloading with 'wget -b -c' cause any problems??? do I REALLY
need the SRPM cds?

thanks a lot...

BTW: I'm also a newbie.
