i downloaded the cd ISO images for Linux Fedora Core 6, i burned the first one to a dvd.
i used DigitalMedia Home by Roxio, the burn went file until the very end, it said that there was a error during the burn and i had to try again. I opened the cd, and found a bunch of files there. So i tried to boot up, but it said i was missing a kernel iso
any ideas?

If you have a DVD burner, you should just burn the DVD ISO, it's a lot easier than burning 5 CDs.

Well you are going to need all 5 of the CDs to complete the install of FC6. If you can't handle that, I would suggest getting a smaller distro such as Gentoo, and then building it from the minimalist install. I think the stage 2 install is only a couple hundred MB.

alright, thanks man
Debian Linux also has a 'net install' CD, and I haven't tried installing Gentoo in a while, but when I did... it took a little bit for my computer to get up and running... (Debian would probably be a bit faster, unless Gentoo has created a new install program)

You are right, Gentoo compiles all packages from source, creating a finely tailored OS. If you don't have the connection speed (or the time to devote to this) Debian may be a better way to go.

The OP did cite time as a reason he was unable to download the Fedora catalogue. (and Debian is highly configurable. Not that I'm biased. Or using Debian now...)
:: Possible thread hijack::
Has Gentoo updated their install program? I vaguely remember hearing something about them recommending Stage 3 installs to more people, but can't remember if that came with a more streamlined install. I've always wanted to go back to Gentoo (that laptop is long gone at this point :()
I don't like Fedora Core 6. I had many problems with disk 3, I downloaded and burned it multiple times but each time it failed. Fedora Core 5 was fine and I hope they do better with Fedora Core 7 because I certainly will use that if the download is fine.

I think I just have difficulties with ISO CDs. I used a DVD to get FC6, and it worked well for me. (Then again, I have good bandwidth at my work...) My problem with FC/RH in general is the look and feel. They're trying to make it seem too much like Windows - and they're putting their efforts into making warm and fuzzy graphics instead of making it more user-friendly. I still find it easier to change my resolution by editing /etc/X11 by hand than using the GUI's lame tool.
