What you have downloaded are all ISO files - Each of them the last 3 
letters after the dot are "iso", image files, if you just burn them as 
is into a cd, it definitely won't boot, you need to burn them from the 
iso files into regular installation cds, with your computer's BIOS set 
to boot from CDrom, then you can start installation by booting up the 
first CD. How to burn the iso download files into regular bootable cd, 
check the help menu of your cd burning software, you can find it there 
for sure .
