writing the ISO files to CD

[Eric Greene]

Could someone please tell me how do I burn the 3 ISO images from the Fedora download page
to CD so that I can get the install going?  I have burned 5 CDs now and none of them work
- only one seems to be bootable but that disc doesn't have any Fedora information on
it.  Thanks very much, I have no idea what is going on with making a bootable disc.  I am
using a Nero 6 CD burning software demo.

Hi Eric,

I had the same problem with Nero.

I found that I had to go to the "File" pull down menu and select "Burn
Image" in order to get a working CD made.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I tried it (from the "Recorder" pull down,
selected "Burn Image") and the CD that was made doesn't boot.
It actually lists the files from the ISO (fromWinXP explorer) but I put the
CD in the system I want to install Fedora on, and it wont boot.

Are you sure that you have the BIOS setup to boot from the CD? Most 
Wintel boxes require you to change the boot order to have the CD boot 
before the internal hard drive.

	Also, sometimes it's a Master/Slave issue with the drive. Drives that
are incorrectly set as either Master or Slave (when they should be the
other), or aren't set at all, sometimes are recognized by the BIOS and
the OS, but won't boot. I ran into this problem at work the other day.

Are you sure your computer is set to boot from the CD-ROM? You can
make the change from floppy to CD-ROM in your system BIOS.

This should really be added to a FAQ, or at least the download page.  It
seems to come up all the time.

Cheers,
