Its looks like that files let me install (if linux instalation didnt change
much from last and only time I installed it)

Let me explain more what I will do.

To start and test the files I will creat a vmware (virtual) to install
linux, before there I will recreate the content of each cd or of the dvd )
that Ican find somewhere at site (I saw it somewhere) if all ok I will
partition my HD and then install Fedora.
To access the files that are in my windows partition I will start a FTP or
put on my IIS via http...then call the installation from there or from the
cds (i want to test all the ways of installation...thats other reason to use
vmware now, that way I can creat and delete the virtual hds partitions very
fast.

I hope now I made me understud heheh

Thx for the help...

[]s Manoel

Ps.:
 I used nero and burd from image aye, just didnt work...tryed to used the
boot.iso cd i made from nero, wich worked, to do linux medeacheck of the cds
but for some reason the installation started from the boot: prompt and didnt
let me know any info of MD5SUM of the CDS.

Also forgive my english
