I downloaded the ISO's and burned them to cd's. I tried rebooting to the cd and get nothing. I am a n00b at linux and have always installed linux with cd's from a distro boxset. I want to stay current and uptodate with the distros and currently use redhat9. I am requesting help on what I need to do need to install the fedora cd's to my computer.
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance.

What does "burned them to cd's" mean, exactly? When you look at the contents of the CD, what do you see? Do you see: 1) one file named <something>.iso, or 2) a bunch of files, including directories named "images", "dosutils" and the like.
if the former, you didn't burn it in the correct way. You need to tell your cd burning software that it is to create a CD from a disk image. Depending on what software you use, the particular buttons you need to push will vary.
I only see the one file yarrow-i386-disc1.iso
Thanks

You need to burn the contents of the iso file to CD, not the file itself. What CD burning software are you using?
