I repartitioned the HDD on my Mac Mini (Intel DuoCore) and downloaed Fedora Core 6. What do I need to put on a DVD to make it bootable for the Mac? I tried using the contents of the "Images" folder only because I saw a boot.iso file there.

Total newbie flying blind and just need a push in the right direction.

I don't know from Macs.

On PCs one sets the BIOS to that when you turn it on it boots from the DVD/CD and the disk takes it from there.

Hint: When given the option of what kind of installation to make such as work station or server choose the option custom. Go to the end of that list and choose install everything. It is trivially more disk space. But you will not be reading about things which are on the disk that were not installed. That will result in less frustration in the beginning.
