I was able to successfully install Fedora Core 6. For those who didn't see my last post, I went to the Fedora download site (using Windoze, of all things! ;) ) and found that when I click on the .iso files, it prompts me to either save or open the file with EasyCD Creator. If I select to open with ECDC eventually it burns the CD in the correct format. Now all I need to do is install Wine, and a few plugins and I'll be right as rain.... Draykko >From: "Paul W.
