hi, i recently purchase red hat fedora core bible. i got fedora cd with it. however when i tried to install fedora it started the installation, formatted my drive and started copying the packages. however it terminated half way stating some fatal error about bad media.

Which make of cdrom drive. I'll hazard a guess - Samsung. In any case imo fedora is an unstable distro and should be avoided by newbies. Suggest u switch over to the PCQ debian dvd. It is extremely stable and works like a charm. Particularly if u plan to do development on GNU.
