When it comes to burning Fedora releases I have learned a long time
ago to use the lowest possible burning speed. I still get "unable to
read package xyz" errors in spite of the media passing "media test".
The error typically occurs mid way or further in the installation
process, well after I have stepped away from the machine. "Retry"
seldom succeeds. Rather than waste hours waiting for an installation
which may never finish I find network installs to be a more reliable
option..
