DVD Format Instillation Disk But No DVD ROM.

Hello all. I have an older computer that has no DVD drive in it. Just a cd drive. Now I have a DVD copy of FC4 that worked fine on my newer computer to install Linux. I have made sure my old computer will boot from cd and it works fine. But it wont boot my FC4 DVD. I'm sure this is a formating problem. What I would like to know is can I convert the DVD to a CD format and burn it? If so, how do I make it bootable. Ive tried many timese to make different CDs bootable, without success. Thanks again,

MicronINC

If you have fast enough internet acces you could download the cd iso's and burn them. Either way your are going to waste an evening messing with it and at least this way you'll have both incase you need them in the future!
