Re: Problem installing from ISO

The files I downloaded are:

FC4-i386-disc1.iso
FC4-i386-disc2.iso
FC4-i386-disc3.iso
FC4-i386-disc4.iso

When I look on the CD, I see just the one ISO file.

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?

What were the names of the ISO files you downloaded? If they contain the
string SRPMS, you got the wrong ones.

When you look at what's on the CDs you burned, do you see one big ISO
file, or a bunch of files and directories?
