(google for the tool to use under windows if needed) The MD5SUM file lists what you should get. 2. Make sure you downloaded the right files, do not download the ones with SRPMS in them. Those are the source isos you want the other ones. 3. Burn the iso files as images not as copies to the CDs. Your burning software (Adaptic CD creator, nero, ???) should have an option for burning an image to disc. 4. Make sure you systems bios has the cd drive listed to boot first. 5. search the list archives if you get errors checking the FC3 disks prior to install. (can probably ignore this or I think you need to boot with DMS turned off) 6. read the release notes! Did I forget any of the things people normally mess up when the do the install?
