Al,

Do you have your computer's BIOS set up to boot from CD ROM?  Typical  
settings are boot order and activating the CD ROM as bootable.

If these settings are correct, maybe run a checksum on the downloaded  
ISO.  You'll need an md5 program that does checksums and then compare  
it to the one that RedHat provides on the download page.  If the  
checksums do not match it means the download did not work correctly  
(not that uncommon actually).

What does the computer do when it doesn't work?  Does it report a  
particular error, boot an existing OS, etc.?
