UltraISO is NOT going to help you particularly. You need to burn the ISO 'images' (not the .iso files) to CD's. Here's the tricky part, Fedora doesn't come with a real easy to use version of parted (it's text based and I get the feeling you're more a GUI kind of person.) Go to www.sysresccd.org and download the System Rescue CD (it's open source) and use QTparted it looks similar to Partition Magic and works great, I've used it several times with no problems. Unless of course you have a copy of PM. Resize the existing XP partition (always defrag first!) to give you some room (10GB or more is good.) and boot the first Fedora CD and off you go. If you need any additional help, you can reply off-list to me, I've walked several people through this. > Don F.
