Pedro,

You simply need to download the 3 Fedora .iso files (called
"yarrow-i386-discN.iso" and use them to burn the CDs.  When you burn the
CDs, you must select the "Burn CD from ISO image" option.  Since I don't
know which program you're using to burn with, I can't be more specific.
There are instructions for some programs at:

	http://www.rhil.net/docs/faq.html#making_cds

The secret is that, if you mount the CD under Windows or some other OS,
you should see a bunch of files, not just one and the first CD will be
bootable.  If you see just one, you burned the CD incorrectly.

Good luck.  Let us know if we can help more.
