Interesting, on my FC2 system, I ran xcdroast (as root), added the iso
directory to the setup, and burned each of the 5 iso's (4 binary, 1
rescue). Took them to my wife's Win98 machine, booted disc #1, and ran
media check over all 5 of them, and they all passed. No problem. Are
you burning the ISO file onto a CD, or are you burning the ISO files as
CD images???? There is a difference. What do you see when you mount
the burned CDs under FC1? How many files/dirs in the CD root dir?

Nope. My burner is a 52x24x52x (w/burnproof support) and I burned to
Memorex 48x CD-R media using default xcdroast settings. I think I was
even serving the files through BitTorrent at the time, though burnproof
would've saved the burns anyways.
