Starting the Fedora Installation Procedure
Put the first installation CD (Disk 1) or DVD in the CD or DVD drive and turn on the power to your computer. The computer will boot from the CD and display the installation start screen. (If your machine doesn't boot from the CD, see Chapter 3.)Figure 4-1. The opening screen in Fedora.

[View full size image] Before proceeding any further, Fedora provides an opportunity to test the installation CDs. It's not necessary to test them, but it's wise. If you are in the middle of the installation and a CD is unusable, it brings the installation to a halt. Figure 4-3 shows the CD test screen.Figure 4-3. The CD test screen in Fedora Core 2.

Press <Enter> for OK and the screen in Figure 4-3 displays again, allowing you to test another CD (or the same one again). After you have tested all the CDs you need to test, select Skip to continue with the installation.Fedora displays a few more lines. Then the welcome screen is displayed.Figure 4-5.
