Hy
My sistem is pretty lame. I don't have much performances and somebody recomend me to install fedora 9 .
I downloaded the iso image from here:
http://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/fedora.redhat.com/linux/releases/9/Fedora/i386/iso/

Used ImgBurn to burn it to a cd
I restarted my pc but the instalation didn't start.
My pc didn't boot from that cd


I can enter in cd and this how it looks:

I can't figure it out what i done wrong?




ps: sorry for my english

Might be a daft question but will your pc actually boot from a CD? Do you need to press F12 or whatever to get a boot menu?

Yes my pc boot from cd
Just a few days ago i installed madriva
I removed it because worked hard, my pc didn't get along with mandriva

Maybe the image isn't good
Can someone give me a link to a right iso with f9 ?

I couldn't tell from your screenshot, but are you sure you are attempting to boot from the Disk1 iso?
Only Disk1 is bootable, and if I am not mistaken, I think you will need at a minimum Disk1 and Disk2 CD's for a successful install.

Ok i solved that problem
I downloaded the f9 netinstall
But i have another problem
When it asks me for the location of the download i put:
http://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/fedora.redhat.com/linux/releases/9/Fedora/i386/iso/
It's loading and near the end it give me an error, something like this:
Unable to read package metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: anaconda-Fedora-200805072150.i386
What does this mean?
The link isn't good, or what?

Thanks for the help

You should probably download and consult this installation guide (http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f9/) for F9 if you're trying to do a net install.
