Also make sure you downloaded disc 1 of the binaries, not disc 1 of the sources.
The ones with SRPMS in the name are source code discs and are not bootable.
Regardless, check the MD5 checksums of the *.iso files (using md5sum
command).  Disc 1 is db8c7254...

Oh, and also download and burn the rescue CD (it's small).  It may prove to be
a lifesaver, especially if you're upgrading.  Better safe than sorry.

The MD5's for FC3...

[Note, if you're security conscious, don't take my word for these.  Download the
MD5SUM file from Red Hat and check the GPG signature]
