andrew,

i missed the first few posts of your message.  are you having problems installing fedora core 2 with burned ISO?  from what i have received i am getting the impression you may be having a similar problem i had.  i had an issue where i placed the burnded ISO into the drive, booted the disks, started the install, but then got an error message that the cd could not be read.  i also tried inserting the cd into a windows machine to read the disk and my ISO was burned fine.  is this the problem you are having?

I have tried both ways, so I have both examples you pose.  I have fours CDs
that have a single .ISO file, and I have four where I used WinImage to
unpack the ISO files into multiple files that are then burned on the CD's.
I thought unpacking the ISO images would create bootable CD's that I could
use to install over the existing OS (win98).

One common problem among people who haven't done this before is that you 
may be burning the ISO onto the CD as a file, rather than an image. 
Forgive me if this is not the case, it's not clear from your message. 
When burning an ISO image, you normally have to select a special command 
to transfer the image, rather than just copy the file onto the CD.

When you put those CD's into CD-rom drive on a working computer, what do 
you see? Do you see a single file named *.iso? Or do you see a whole 
bunch of files and directories?
