How do I install Fedora Core 2 on the following system...

MotherBoard Gigabyte GA-K8VT800 pro
CPU Athlon 64 3200+
Ram 2-512MB DDR 400mHz
Video Nvidia 5700 256MB
HardDrvs 2-36G Raptors (SATA on Raid 0)
Raid array VIA 8237

I would like a dual boot with windows xp. I downloaded the file with
the VIA driver for linux but the file has to be (compiled?) using
"makefile" etc. and I don't have any other computer with linux on it to
extract or compile the necessary file(s). Also, I'm new to a Raid setup
and Linux so ANY help would be appreciated. And yes I downloaded the 64
bit iso files...

Thanking you all in advance...

D
