I know this sounds completely stupid. Although, im pretty much a newb at linux. Im getting sick of windows so I need to try something else. I've gotten all three i386 ISO's for Fedora Core 1 and burnt them to a cd using nero. Im pretty damn good with computers and im getting confused with even getting the installer working.. I've checked all the system requirements and its fine. What I have done so far is delete my partitions so I have nothing right now. I basically want to have the whole partition for linux. So heres my problem, pretty stupid but, how do I even start the installation? I have it boot from cd in bios, but of course its linux stuff, so it doesn't seem to load boot from cd like windows xp/2000/etc. Im confused on how to run the installer from a floppy, considering all the files i've gotten to run it are linux stuff. So if anyone can sorta help me along with this really stupid question that would be helpful. Thanks

I have the cd drive to boot before anything. When I have the first Cd in and bootup, it says its searching for a boot on the cd and then the floppy and tells me an operating system couldn't be found and to insert one and press a key. I would think that it would start up like a normal windows cd, but it doesnt...

The md5 hashes were correct after downloading the iso..so I saw the anacondainstaller.rpm file in the cd directory. I have all the dosutils to but im confused how to use rawrite or what its even for. I have a unpartitioned hard drive so I cant really copy files to that.. any suggestions?

I downloaded the three Fedora i386 Iso's, which isn't the source code iso's from a bit torrent link. I then burned the iso's to cd's (I can see the files and folders in the cd, not the iso file..) Now I also hear I need to use the anaconda installer program, but whenever I try to get it its gotta be an rpm file so how do I get the anaconda installer in exe or something where I can execute it in dos?
