How to install fedora

[Darren Lee]

I burned these 4 CDs
(http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/3/i386/iso/)

and booted with the first CD, but I always failed and the machine
directly went to windows XP

Do i need to make another boot CD?

Thanks

That first CD ought to have been bootable. Have you checked that the ISO 
you download was correct? The MD5 checksum is correct? How about checking 
that the CD really is ok... e.g. read it from Windows.

===================================
Most likely simply needs to change the boot sequence in the BIOS.

Another possibility: on boot on fast computers, you hardly see a message
saying: Press any key to boot from the CD.
Try continuously tapping a key during boot sequence, perhaps the problem
will be so solved

Hi,
did you set the correct boot order in your bios settings (cdrom before hd)?

greetings, grim
