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....

There is a document filed alongside the ISO images on most web mirrors,
called README-BURNING-ISOS.txt -- you might want to read it for more
information:

This comes straight from the wiki version:
