The ISO images must be named EXACTLY as they are on the download site
(including capitalization) and you must make certain they are readable
by everyone.
If you're installing FC5 for a 32-bit Intel machine, the ISOs MUST be
named:
FC-5-i386-disc1.iso
FC-5-i386-disc2.iso
FC-5-i386-disc3.iso
FC-5-i386-disc4.iso
FC-5-i386-disc5.iso
Or, using the DVD ISO image:
FC-5-i386-DVD.iso
