Trouble installing, do i have the right files 1

[rokerij]

I have gone to both SUse and Redhat Fedora for downloads and I believe that I am doing the right process, but would like to confirm that what I am doing is correct.

First, Fedora, I went and downloaded three discs:

Yarrow-i386-disc1.iso
Yarrow-i386-disc2.iso
Yarrow-i386-disc3.iso

Are these the only files that I need to get started or are there others?

So Now I have three large files sitting on my folder. I use an Easy CD Creator and go through the process of:

Find the file and add it to the Project
Then File --> Create CD Hard Disk Image

This brings up a dialog box to save the file and the type default is CIF, so I change to save type as ISO and once that is created I then find the newly created file and burn it as an image on to my CD. This I then take and pop into a CD drive after setting CMOS/BIOS to boot from the that drive, I reboot and my pre existing Windows begins to boot. I never get to a boot screen for Linux. Any help or guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

The ISO file format is directly burnable. Don't reformat it or anything. It is also bootable, so if your burning software has that flag, please enable it.

thedaver,
thank you so much! I was doing unnecessary steps to create a cd and my software did have that option to create a bootable cd, so as I type I am burning it out. As far as the correct iso's do you know if I need anything more for the Linux OS? thanks again. Star!

Those three discs are all you need for Fedora. Enjoy it, beat it up, have fun with it. Saw a story on Slashdot a couple days ago that the release candidate for the next version was available. The herds will be upgrading soon ;-)

That may be why they don't have enough servers to handle the updates. Anybody else having this problem with fedora, using yum?
