Hello. I'm having difficulties installing Fedora Core 3. It was downloaded (not by me) a while ago and I burned it to four CDs recently. I partitioned the HD and everything, set it up to boot from CD in BIOS, but when I try, I get the message Disk Boot Failure, Insert System Disk and Press Enter. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.

I remember the exact same problem from more than 2 years ago… and if I recall correctly, the person trying to install FC3 actually unzipped the ISOs and burned them that way, instead of burning them as he got them (so the disk wasn't seen as bootable). If you didn't make the same mistake, then it's possible the CD just didn't burn correctly, in which case you can try again, perhaps at a lower burning speed?
