Make sure that your BIOS, if it is supported, is set up so that the CD is
the first boot mech in the boot sequence and drop the 1st CD in and bounce
the PC. You most certainly don't need the boot/root floppies to start the
installation process nor, hmmmmmm, from memory I don't think the floppies
are recommended nowadays. Perhaps Janina can clarify that point as I don't
myself have time to dive into the FAQ's to check, etc.
HTH.
Cheers.

Sorry, what do you mean? CheapBytes sent me the four disks of FC3, but not
the boot CDs, or the RescueCD, so I burned the Boot.iso image (from
ftp.linus-speakup.org) to a CD and booted from it, Disk 1 (that CheapBytes
sent) wouldn't boot, but it said in the instalation guide (from
linux-speakup.org) that it didn't usually anyway.
Which CD should I use to boot?
Cheers mate,
Chris Norman
