fedora core 4

[kmsp]

I have burned the 4 images; disc 1 should boot from CD isn't it?
disc 1 is not booting; I can boot my PC from CD with other disc's so for sure is not a BIOS problem
Any sugestions please, thank you

Yes, CD1 sholud boot. Have you compared the md5 sums of the downloaded CD images if they where downloaded without errors?

[kmsp]

I have the sums but I don't know where to look in the downloaded image

[falko]

Fedora uses sha1 sums instead of md5 sums.
You can find the sha1 sums of the iso images here: http://fedora.redhat.com/download/#download

To find out about the sha1 sum of your downloaded iso image, run

sha1sum <isofilename>

[kmsp]

where should I run sha1sum , windows is not recognizing it

[kmsp]

I have checked the sha1sum for disc1, its fine
sorry for so many questions
thank you

[kmsp]

Please any other ideas?

If you're absolutely sure that the checksums are the same, then I'd burn the CD again, and if that still doesn't help, then I'd say that Fedora Core 4 has a problem with your hardware...

Check your bios setting to make sure you are booting from cd before any other media such as harddrive. Also, make sure you are placing fedora core 4 disk 1 in the master cd drive. Hope that helps.

If that doesn't work if you can provide spec's of you system I can look into it more.
