Ok, got the four isos, checksums are fine, burned them to my hard drive, burned them(the images) to cds twice, where the _&!&**!@%*&$@$%#$%@$_ (mailto:&!&**!@*&$@$#$@$) *@ is the installer? I don't already have linux running already. I'd like to have a dual boot system but it's looking like too much damn trouble.
Hecklers welcome.

If you burned them properly then you can boot from disk 1 and start the install. If not, then Jim's comments below apply
Also, I have not been following this thread, but if you downloaded the iso's with SRPM in the name, that is the sources and not the installable binaries.

The 'installer' is an automatic boot to the cd IF you burned the iso's as images AND the cdrom is made bootable in the bios.
If when you look at the burned cd, you still see the .iso file, you burned it as a file and have a 50 cent & somewhat leaky coaster, burn them again as images, not as files.

I think he has no choice. From his mail header:
X-Mailer: 9.0 Security Edition for Windows sub 1200
This seems to be the AOL software. Once he migrated to Fedora he can use a fine mailer :) Hope he then uses too his real name rather than such a l33t script kids alias like now in his mail address.

Calm down. Put down the coffee and the computer and go get some sleep. Man, you sound stressed.
Now, make sure you burned the CDs right and see a lot of files instead of one big file on the CDs.
Next make sure you did not burn a bunch of CDs with only the source rpms.
If you got a CD full of src rpms then back to downloading you go.
After that set your BIOS or CMOS to boot from CD.
If you do not already have a partition ready to put linux on you will have to resize your partition. If your XP is set to ntfs these instructions are pretty good:

Now .......
Put the CD into the drive. Reboot the computer.
The installer called anaconda (who cares what its called right?) comes up and will prompt you through the install.
Good afternoon!

Johnathan, let me congratulate you. You put the above (and what followed) very well.
