Re: question on FC6 installation

If you're using K3B, click on "tools" then "CD" then "Burn CD image"
Then just point it to the FC6 iso's. You'll have to do that for each ISO
though.

Thanks.

If you open the cd and see the file you burned, its wrong. These .iso
images are the whole cd, filesystem and all, and if all you see is
the .iso file you burned, its the wrong style of burn. Use it for a
somewhat leaky drink coaster, or maybe skeet practice.

Most burn programs have a write iso image function, and this is the one
you should use.

Its a common mistake.
