I would like help on burning a Bootable Cdrom for Fedora Core 2. I have downloaded the four (4)FC2-i386-dicsX. iso to 4 Cdrom disks. I have no instructions on how to burn a Bootable Cdrom. I would like any help. Thank you Kirby Myatt

If you have K3B, then these instructions will get a bootable CD for you:
1. open K3B 2. in the K3B menu, follow this: Tools -> CD -> Burn CD Image 3. navigate to the iso that you want to burn in the Image to Burn section 4. click on Start
If you don't have K3B yet, I can highly recommend it. If you have your yum.conf set up to get at additional software available for FC, you can install it via the following command at a root prompt:
yum install k3b
If you need some help configuring yum to get at these additional packages, then this will help:

alternatively, you can use the command line interface application called cdrecord. On my machine this command will get a bootable CD burned for me:
1. insert the blank cd 2. close the window(s) that may pop up in Gnome 3. open a terminal 4. cdrecord -v speed=32 dev=0,0,0 nameofthefileyouwanttoburn.iso
You may have to do some digging to determine the device address of your CD burner. To find out the device address try looking at the result of this command: cat /etc/fstab
There may be some finetuning that someone else could suggest, but these instructions work for me.
Hope this helps, Clint
