What does "nothing happens" mean? Please be specific:
1> The PC will not go past the BIOS screen.
2> The PC Starts booting the CD, then dies (what is on the screen if
this is the case?)
3> The PC boots the hard drive instead of the CD.
We can only help when you tell us exactly what's going on.

OK, first thing you need to do is run an MD5SUM against the .ISO files
to make sure you don't have a dud download. Please try the archives
again. This has been discussed as late as yesterday.
