James,
Thanks for your prompt response. I'm back on this now.

I'm indeed able to see files and directories from within windows.
Maybe I've not burned it correctly.
Here is what I've done:
* I downloaded the 5 *iso files from a mirror fedora site
* I used a program called isobuster to extract the files into a directory on
my hard-drive
* I used Nero to burn a CD as a boot disk. (I think?)

BTW It's the first time that I've utilized/used any *.iso type files, so
most likely I've messed up.

Is there another way or an easer way to do this?

Thanks for your help an advice.
Regards,
Kurt

Unlikely. Warren was talking about the new FC5 Test 1.

These test releases (especially Test 1) include *really* cutting edge
code, that has hardly had any time to settle down.

Sounds like you've got a nice system there. Why don't you tell us
exactly what happened?

If the disc won't boot at all, look at it in Windows and check that
there are a number of directories in it. If not, you've probably burnt
it wrong.

Hope this helps,

James.
