Has anyone else had a problem w/ http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/iso/FC2-i386- disc1.iso? I'm trying to do my first even install of Linux, and my computer will not boot from the CD I made from this image. I can view the contents of the disk from the WinXP computer I made it on, but it crashes Windows Explorer on other computers. I AM able to boot from the disk created from FC2-i386-rescuecd.iso w/ no problem and view the contents of disks 2-4 as well as the rescue disk...
Thanks, Jeffrey Belback jbelback@xxxxxxxxxxx
Uh.... I just popped a FC2-i386-disc1.iso CDR into the drive on my Win98 box and have no problem at all in viewing the directory structure.
In fact, if I open a DOS window and do D:\>dir
Volume in drive D is FC_2 i386 Volume Serial Number is F580-007A Directory of D:\

This is what you should get and what you will get if the CD is good. If you are seeing (in WinXP, naturally) a single very large file, you have burned the CD incorrectly.
