Fedora Core 4 Installation Difficulty

Im not getting the boot screen! Im getting a DOS like promt that goes through all kinda of commands and ends at a box that says
Using DPMS DOS Prtected Mode Services:
(A BOX IS HERE WITH OPTIONS TO TYPE)

and then an input thing : "[DR-DOS] A:\>_"




I should get a screen i used to see when i installed Red Hat.

do you have a floppy in your A: drive or a cd in your rom drive(s)?

i love the linux penguin, he is so cute!!!!!

Duh, i have the installation cd lol... im just installing.

when you insert the disk and boot from it, it should prompt you what to boot and give some options. but your saying that when you insert the cd and try to boot from it, you end up at a prompt that says its at the A: drive? if so i'd say you have a bad copy of the cd and to try redownloading that one.

i had no problems with the fd4 installation except for the fact aht the first time around, i used a bad dvd. otherwise, it all took 30 mins from start to finish with a complete install
