heres the regular download site. http://fedora.redhat.com/download/ heres the install from a HD instructions. http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/install-guide/s1-begininstall-hd.html heres the install guide that i was using. http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/install-guide/ the fedora page linked me to the linux 9 install page so im assuming that the install procedure is the same. yeah ive got a burner. I jsut never have any luck burning bootable CDs

im trying to install it from my hard drive.

Ok so this is the first time ive actually installed the linux Os on anything. I have an abit kr7a-133R motherboard with an AMd xp 1600 processor. I use two WD drives one is 6.4GB and the other is 20.0GB. the problem that im having is. i downloaded the 3 iso images from linux and i made a boot floppy using "rawrite" and the bootdisk.img file. I shut my machine down and set my small er HD to master and my bigger HD to slave. I boot using the floppy and after about 5 seconds of actual floppy activity i get a boot failed: please change disks and press key to continue Either im clueless and dont know how to read but i am totally stumped as to why this is happening. I have followed the installation instructions closely and cant seem to get it to boot any farther than that. i formatted the smaller drive that i want to install linux on and put the 3 iso files on it and a boot.iso file. any suggestions would be welcomed. Please forgive my ignorance as i am very new to the linux world.
