Thanks Paul - I burnt it both ways - as a single iso file and as an image "Burn DVD ISO image" from K3b that has multiple files. Neither would boot. I tried to restart with an old CD1 of an earlier Fedora release and a bootable Knoppix CD that I had. But no luck. I read in some install notes about configuring bios settings to boot first from CD drive but I'm not sure how to do this and I never had to configure anything before. I have booted from this CD/DVD drive previously (prior to FC4) so I'm not sure why it doesn't work now. I must not be configured to boot from CD/DVD but not sure how to change this? On a restart the DVD drive does get recognized and the disk spins - but then it boots into FC4. thanks again - fred v.
