	What do you mean that disks 1 & 3 do not work?  What iso files did you
use?

	The binary fedora .iso files have a name FC3-i386-disc1.iso or disk 2
etc. make sure you are not using the iso with SRPM in the name as those
are source files which need to be compiled.

	The most common error that people make burning iso's is not burning the
image, but the file.  To see which you've done, put the disk in the
drive and open it. if the disk contains only 1 file named FC3-i386-
disc1.iso (or whichever disc) then it was burned as a file.  I am not
familiar with Alcohol 120%, but there should be an option somewhere.
You might also try right-clicking the .iso icon. nero and roxxio both
put an item in this menu to burn iso images, maybe Alcohol does too.
