Absolute Beginner

[Paul]

I'm keen to start using an alternative to Windows and have installed Fedora Core 1 to a second hard drive.  It looks to be an exciting prospect, however I could do with some beginners help.  I am unsure, at the moment, as to how I can install further programmes from a CD.  Are there any tutorials for Fedora that I could see ?
I eagerly await your assistance !
Thanks Paul
