1) Created the CD, plugged the CD into the CD-player

I also have a 2nd CD/DVD (both RW) and it seems
to autorun but I could not run ./installer maybe
because the mount properties are not correct.

2) Digging deeper, the README says that if autorun
fails, then to manually mount with gentoo/debian
style, which I did, and I was then able to run
the installer script.

I had assumed at this point that following the
wizard instructions, to define the source and
installation directory would somehow take care
of things for the proper environment, i.e. a
Fedora environment for it's filesystem structure
but I guess I was wrong... it was not installed
in the correct place(s).

Can anyone tell me how to properly install gEDA
on Fedora or point me to the links where I can
read up on it and install it right?

There are a bunch of gEDA packages in the review queue for Fedora Extras.

You might consider trying them:

Looks to me that gEDA is just not capable of being built and installed
on FC5 at this time. I tried to build/install using the gEDA wizard but
it stops short attempting to build the gnucap application so I filed a
bug report at the gEDA sourceforge site. It is not clear exactly what
the problem is - but I have seen something like this behavior in another
application I was trying to build in FC5 and it involved g++ and
iterator resolving issues but I don't know exactly what the problem is,
i.e. if the problem is with the application itself, is g++ as bugs or is
newer, or g++'s libraries with bugs, missing, or newer or what. No
clue.

As for the link you provided, I am not sure what to do with it other
than to see there are others wanting sponsors and/or is reviewing gEDA
and a bunch of .spec files to be reviewed but getting gEDA onto FC5
appears not ready for FC5 at this time? It seems gEDA in the
experimental extras area is a bit fragmented compared with the full gEDA
CD suite so I would not even know where to begin or start.
