Hi, everyone. My desktop has Red Hat 9 currently
installed on it, but I decided to do a clean
installation of Fedora Core 2 (rather than simply
upgrade). I downloaded the 4 disc iso files and burned
them to CDs (after checking the md5sums). The CD
burnings seemed to go fine, and the discs all show the
appropriate iso files on them. I loaded disc 1 into
the CD-ROM drive and rebooted my desktop, but it just
started up Red Hat 9 again, rather than the Fedora
Core installation. Just to check, I loaded disc 1 into
my notebook (a Dell running on Windows XP) and
rebooted, and again, the Fedora Core installation
didn't begin.
Any suggestions? (Keeping in mind that I'm pretty much
a newbie when it comes to Linux, but I have some
O'Reilly books and I'm more than willing to do the
work to learn more. So I may be confused by highly
technical answers, but I don't want to remain ignorant.)

This sounds like your BIOS is setup to look at the following:
floppy
HD
CD ROM
You need to change the BIOS order to have the CD ROM before the HD.
This way the boot image on the CD ROM will be found before the HD.
