This shouldn’t have been so hard to find that I had to post this, but it was. After downloading the Fedora Core 5 DVD distribution from Bittorrent, there are two files, FC-5-i386-DVD.iso and SHA1SUM.
First, check that the ISO is OK:
sha1sum -c SHA1SUM
There will be a few errors about the CD ISO files you don’t have. As long as the FC-5-i386-DVD.iso is OK, you’re in business.
Next, pop a blank DVD+R in the DVD burner and run (as root):
growisofs -Z /dev/dvd=FC-5-i386-DVD.iso
do not run growisofs -Z /dev/dvd FC-5-i386-DVD.iso like I did the first time or you’ll just get a disc with the iso file on it. 🙁
