Put it in the tray, open a terminal and enter; (I'm using the 2010 Gnome disk for the demonstration)

[polack@littleboy ~]$ md5sum /dev/sr0
29e8f95bffdb4da2b2d7f0cb0013a68d  /dev/sr0   

If the sum returned is the same as the image, the burn is correct.

Is there a media-check option in the boot menu?
That should do it I think.

Hi

Thanks a lot for answers. I will remember that.
I got it burned all right:

[ole@localhost ~]$ md5sum /dev/sr0
7413d998641e28e2a5688fd75f6eeea8  /dev/sr0
[ole@localhost ~]$

JohnBoy, just so things are clear in my head, I thought the "Media Check" only checked to see if the media could be read. I didn't know it could verify that the data was valid

Truthfully I am not at all sure what the "Media Check" actually does.
I do not burn optical disks except for the rare occasion I cannot use a USB Live flash stick.

Without actually thinking about it I guess I thought it read the media, did an MD5sum on what it read and compared that to the embedded MD5sum on the disk.

If it doesn't do that then I am confused about what it does and how valuable its 'check' could be.

Bad dog!    Now you've got me thinking about this!

Media Check does check the md5sum. It also checks the integrity of the disc.
