Re: missing exe or .iso image download from internet
There is no .exe file in the ISO image because .exe files are windows executable files and this is Linux. You cannot run the fedora iso as a program in Windows. The DVD is an installation DVD, you boot it up and do the Linux install from it. Linux is an operating system like Windows is an operating system, it is not a program.
When you downloaded the iso image, it has to burned to a DVD as an ISO, then it will boot.
Have a look at this link and it will explain how that works:
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/...isc/index.html
Hey we were all new to Linux at one point, you'll figure it out. BUT, if your not looking to install Linux to your hard disk, and, you just want to take a look at it, download the LiveCD image, so, when you boot the Iso image you can play with it before deciding to install it.

Re: missing exe or .iso image download from internet
If I understand correctly, you downloaded without error into the fedora-13-i386-DVD folder. From there you have to use a program like CDBurnerXP to burn the ISO to a DVD. Take a look at this link for more info:
http://cdburnerxp.se/
Notice the third key feature which says it will "burn and create ISO files".
BTW - It works in Vista and Windows 7 also.

Re: missing exe or .iso image download from internet
Don't extract the downloaded ISO image! You can't do anything with the extracted folders and files, you must burn the original single file you downloaded using software capable of burning ISO images.
