I recently ran into a system that would not boot from a DVD even
though the boot order was set correctly in the BIOS.  The same system
with the same BIOS settings booted from a CD.  I'm guessing that that
system's BIOS was too old to be able to handle booting from a DVD.
Just a WAG, but since the CD got me around my problem I didn't bother
digging any deeper.

If you are going to a hard disk install you may want to look up a
thread on this list with the
subject: Fedora 13 beta ISO install from hard drive

There are some differences in the HD install from previous releases.
