The easiest suggestion that I heard was to start the boot with the first
CD from Fedora 1. When you get to the boot screen, change the disc to
the Fedora disk that you just burned. According to legend, the
installation should work from then on out.
I have a curiousity about the non-boting CD's. I got someone at work
into trying out Fedora. He had trouble with the discs not being bootable
when they were burned on XP, using Nero. He burned the discs again on
Linux (Fedora Core 1) and the discs booted alright.
Are these unbootable discs al burned using Windows or are the being
burned with a cd burnig program on Linux. I seem to recall someone
mentioning using K3B to burn the unbootable test2 discs. I am getting
that the discs do not boot, regardless of the OS used and not anything
different enough between the attempts to zero in on a root cause of the
problem.
