I have downloaded the ISO images (hopefully the right ones) and burned them on cd's. 4 different cd's. and none of them will let me install fedora. what have i done wrong? and what can i do to get fedora on my pc?
You've probably burned the ISO images as regular files instead of as images. If you look on the CDs you burned, do you see the ISO file or a bunch of other files and directories?
Details of how to burn ISO images for a variety of popular CD-burning applications can be found at:
