    Hi, everyone. My desktop has Red Hat 9 currently
    installed on it, but I decided to do a clean
    installation of Fedora Core 2 (rather than simply
    upgrade). I downloaded the 4 disc iso files and burned
    them to CDs (after checking the md5sums). The CD
    burnings seemed to go fine, and the discs all show the
    appropriate iso files on them. I loaded disc 1 into
    the CD-ROM drive and rebooted my desktop, but it just
    started up Red Hat 9 again, rather than the Fedora
    Core installation. Just to check, I loaded disc 1 into
    my notebook (a Dell running on Windows XP) and
    rebooted, and again, the Fedora Core installation
    didn't begin.

    Any suggestions? (Keeping in mind that I'm pretty much
    a newbie when it comes to Linux, but I have some
    O'Reilly books and I'm more than willing to do the
    work to learn more. So I may be confused by highly
    technical answers, but I don't want to remain ignorant.)
