Thanks for the feedback, I was not aware that the default location had
changed. Something to fix in apt, I guess.

That is strange, I embedded the checksum in the cdrom using the normal
functions supplied by fedora. I did not (obviously) test that it worked.
I'll have to see what went wrong with this. At least the md5 checksum of
the whole image should enable you to test integrity of the cdrom.

I presume you do have something if you switch down to level 3? (no X)
Are there any errors in /var/log/xorg.0.log? (or a similar name, I'm not
running fc3 now)
