The ones with SRPMS in the name are source code discs and are not bootable. Regardless, check the MD5 checksums of the *.iso files (using md5sum command). Disc 1 is db8c7254... Oh, and also download and burn the rescue CD (it's small). It may prove to be a lifesaver, especially if you're upgrading. Better safe than sorry.
