Arg! I tried again, this time using gtoaster. I couldn't find anyway to specify the right way for the iso files to be written. I clicked on "record to cd" and it burned the CD--and again it just shows up as 1 iso file. I tried right-clicking on the disc 1 iso file in the folder it's in (my home folder), but there's no option I can find for "burn to CD."
Maybe I should just shell out the $50 for one of the Fedora Core books, because it looks as if I can't write the bloody iso files to the CD the right way.
Unless...someone mentioned using "cdrecord" in the terminal. If that's possible, could someone please tell me exactly what to type if I want to burn the disc 1 iso files from my home folder to a CD?

SECOND -- Find your burner. Mine above is device 1,0,0 THIRD -- Change to the directory containing the iso files [rj@mavis rj]$ cd /tmp/FC3/FC3-test2-binary-i386 [rj@mavis FC3-test2-binary-i386]$ FOURTH -- burn a CD
[rj@mavis FC3-test2-binary-i386]$ cdrecord dev=1,0,0 -v -dao *disc1.iso
NOTE -- I'm burning CD #1 of the FC3t2 set above. Your path will undoubtedly be different, but that's it. Also note that if you have /etc/cdrecord.conf set up properly, all you need is
$ cdrecord filename.iso
That CD just passed mediacheck on another machine.
