Hi, I just downloaded all four Fedora Core 2 iso's from www.linuxiso.org . Then, I burned each iso on seperate cd's. Then I put the first disk in my cd-rom drive and all it shows it the actual iso file. I dont know how to install it , could you please help. Any information would help. Thanks :(

make sure you bios is set up to look for cd rom at boot up:

1. insert 1st cd in cd rom
2. reboot pc
3. and let fedora start

You burned it to the CD incorrectly - do not "copy" the .iso files to the CD, you have to use "burn image" or a similarly named option in your burning software. Once that's done, if you examine the CD, you'll see the full directory structures contained within the image. You can then boot with CD 1 and start the installation process.

and make sure your cd rom is the first thing the computer lodes off at boot
