Re: Problem installing from ISO

I may be having a brain-freeze this morning but I followed the directions (burned the ISO's over to 4 CD's) and when I put the first CD in the CD drive, and reboot, all I get is a blinking cursor, then it boots from the hard drive to Windoze. I checked the bios and the CD drive is 1rst in the bootlist priority. This is new CD software (Sonic DigitalMedia) so I may be missing something. I assume when I reboot, the Fedora install menu should come up. Any ideas?

It has been a while since I have done this so my memory may be off. I've
downloaded the 4 ISO files for FC4. To put them on CD, do I have to specifiy
that I am making an ISO. So I am making an ISO of an ISO. Also, does the CD need
to be 'bootable'. I tried just copying the ISO image onto a CD but when I
reboot, nothing comes up. TIA.

You're not making an ISO of an ISO, you're burning an ISO to CD.

You may find useful guidance at:
