Contemplating Switch
Lead Head:
I thought the installation of fedora was easier than ubuntu because, fedora has a fully graphical installer with mouse support and eye candy. But i think the installer will revert to a less pretty mode if you have sucky hardware
cymon:
I don't really like the graphical installers. My favorites are the ncurses installers, like the Debian one. Graphical is nice, but I find all the eye candy tries to sugarcoat the installation.

OK, it worked with CDBurner XP but now when I pop the CD in and double-click the icon and nothing happens, it just goes to ISO Buster. I'm really confused. I'm sorry for all the questions but this really sucks.
Orethrius:
You're still burning the ISO file to disc, not burning the disc from the ISO. Try checking CDburner (or whatever) for an option that says something like "Burn Image to Disc," not "Burn Data Disc." Once the burn process has completed successfully, reboot your PC with the CD in the drive. Treat it like you would a standard recovery disc; that is, use your boot-selection popup (you may have to set this in BIOS, depending on the age of your system) to select your CD drive as the boot drive. It's all downhill from there, but if you have ANY valuable data, be sure to back it up on CD, DVD, or tape (maybe even floppy if it's just a couple textfiles) first. Come back here if you still encounter problems.
Also, what are the system specs (as far as you know)? Is this a laptop, tower, or other?
foot foot:
OK, I picked the option "Write ISO Image". Is that correct? As far as my system it's a desktop P4 HP and it has Windows XP.
