I've downloaded the iso's for FedoraCore 3 test2 and they
md5sum matched what they should be. But when I run k3b to
burn the iso's and do the verify k3b says the disk isn't
matching the iso file. I'm using k3b version 0.11.14
and cdrecord-clone 2.01a27-dvd (the infamous hacked for dvd one).
The os is Fedora core 2 with kernel 2.6.6-1.427

I guess it's the cdrecord's fault? I even tried running as
root when I noticed in the debug output that as my normal
user account certain api's weren't available and the
debug was saying not having them would increase the
chance of buffer overrun and misburning ... that didn't help.
I am burning at 24x which is at the top of the drive, maybe
taking that to a slower speed would help.

No. You need to try recording more slowly. Intentionally select a burn speed
slower than cdrecord thinks is necessary. This is by far the most common
problem in CD burning.

There it is. Try 16x or slower.
