Thanks Galen.  I can check that myself.

The problem system, not my workstation, is giving me inconsistent 
results when I try to burn from the command line.  I even went so far as 
to try using a USB connected CD-RW and had the same issues.
    First round of tests was to blank the CD.  Worked with no problems 
on two of three CDs (I still have to run the last one.) from my 
workstation which is ATA only.
    Next round will be to pull the data down, build an ISO, and try 
burning that.

Good.  The other system is only 5.0 (Final) so I'll have to upgrade it 
and see if that makes a difference.

Darn system worked for several years but after upgrading from Fedora 
Core 1; yeah can you believe that :-) I started seeing problems.  So 
possibly a drive getting old but the test with USB connected one puts a 
bit of a snag in to that idea.
