Help Two things may be happening. First do you have the cdrom selected as a boot device? You have to set that in your machines setup options. Normally hitting the delete key during boot up or F8 will get you into the setup screens where you can select the cdrom as a boot device. The other thing that I think is really the issue is that you have downloaded and burned the iso for the source CDs. Hence the SRPMS folder you see on the disk. Check the mirror where you got the iso's from and you should see there are 8 listed. 4 of them is the installable distribution and the others are the sources for everything. You will need to download the correct iso and burn it. Then you should be able to boot and install FC. The good news is that you burned the ISO correctly. :) -- Scot L.
