You need to burn them as *images*. There should be a Burn Image option in whatever software you are using. Doing so should make them bootable. If you did burn them as images (you will see multiple files on the CD from a running system), check your BIOS settings to be sure you are booting from the CD before the harddisk. If you have two CD drives, try the other one. Okay, now for some other issues. I believe yarrow is an older version of Fedora (I think 2, maybe 1, but I don't remember right now). I highly suggest you get Core 3 instead. Also, why are you downloading the x86_64 version? This is only for use with 64-bit processors such as AMD's Opteron or Athlon 64 or the new Intel chips with EM64T support. You probably want the i386 isos instead. I find it unlikely that you have RedHat 7.5 installed on a brand new AMD64 machine. Jonathan
