Angelo,

Working with CD or DVD images is basically the same. You download the install DVD from the same place you download the LiveCD and burn it the same way. Of course you need a DVD drive with write capability, but I hope your computer is not so old to have only a CD drive.

When you enter fedoraproject.org, clik on the "Server" link, then "Download now". It provides a DVD install iso image, while the "Workstaion" link on the home page provides a LiveCD image. Also note the "Other downloads" on the same page: it provides the netinst isos someone else talked about. Those are much smaller than the DVD images but provides the rescue option if that's all you need.

If you need an older Fedora release, the lastest Fedora Project web site doesn't provide easy links anymore. But you can copy any of the download links for the latest release and strip from the file name until the release number, for example:

http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/21/Server/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Server-DVD-x86_64-21.iso

becomes

http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/

Then you can click on the release number you want and browse until you find the install or netinst image you want. For example, if you need Fedora 18, you'd click 18/Fedora/x86_64/iso/ to get the DVD and netinst iso images.

Please be aware some mirrors won't provide all releases. In this case, start over from until you get directed to a http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/ mirrior that has the release you want.

If you need a relase that's too old and most mirrors have already deleted it, go to:

http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/

Hi Angelo.

Yes (for installing Fedora) I am using a live CD..; and I know that it is also a possibility to use DVD iso (about that I have to learn).

However  I was able to get the prompt pressing "Escape"

Anyway I still  not was been able to enter in recovery mode from the prompt, because both the command: "linux rescue" and "init.rescue"  were not recognized by the interpreter.
 
Every Linux boot media can display the prompt, but the commands available have to be included on the media itself.
The rescue commands are not provided by Fedora LiveCDs. So you need to download a non-liveCD Fedora installation media, boot from it and then use the prompt.
