If you check the fedora site you can get a direct install iso. The 
easiest one to grab is the dvd iso.

You probably have too little RAM for a graphical install. You might try 
selecting a text install at the first (or so) screen.
The live-cd is intended to run from the CD so you can check that it will 
run. There is an option to install from the running live-cd instance. 
But you need more memory to get it to run at all, by the looks of it.
