Good for you!

When you first boot the install CD, it presents the option of
validating the DVD contents, to ensure that you really do have a good
burn. Let it do that check at least once. If the test every
succeeds, it will probably always succeed, but you sure don't want to
try to install from a disk where that test would fail.

That test often fails due to a kernel issue, making good media seem
bad. I prefer to compare the bits with:

# cmp /dev/dvd /path/to/iso

If the dvd matches the iso: if there is no kernel issue there will be
no output; else it will complain about eof on the iso file. If the dvd
does not match the iso, there will be a specific complaint about the
first mismatch.

Burning and testing all fits nicely into one command line (split here):

# ( date ; growisofs -dvd-compat -Z /dev/dvd=/path/to/iso ; date ;
> sleep 1 ; cmp /dev/dvd /path/to/iso ; date ; echo -e '\a\a\a' )
