Yeah, we're definitely doing it wrong.

I can help you with your issue, but in the future all end-user questions
should be directed to one of the resources listed at the following:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate

The two forms of Live Media can be booted from a disc (CD, DVD, or USB
key) in order to try Fedora before installing. The "Fedora Desktop Live
Media" uses the default desktop environment in Fedora, and the "Fedora
KDE Live Media" uses an alternate desktop. Both can be installed. The
selection of software at install time is fixed, but more can be added
after installation.

The Install Media does not give you the opportunity to test Fedora
before installing, however the software selection is larger and can be
customized before installation.

Most personal computers will use either the i386 install media or the
i686 live media.

Also note that all links in the main sections are for our latest
release, Fedora 9. Older releases are accessible at the links in the
"Let me look around..." section.
