Fedora won't boot or let me install, can you give me a tip?
Well, when i try to boot from USB and CD when i start up my laptop, it didn't get me any menu, and i cannot install / boot from desktop either? What can i do?
Did you set the CD drive to first boot priority in the BIOS when you tried it?
Same for the USB? More info on your hardware and details as to what exactly happens would be helpful.

I have no idea how to change the BIOS system, could you help me find a tutorial or something for how to set up the priority for the CD or the USB?
What do you mean by did not get a menu? How did you create/burn the CD?
Did you select burn disk image or just copied the ISO file to the DVD folder and then burn? Look at the files on the CD. If all you see is a single file it was not burned correctly.

What is the make/model of your laptop?
When you input a Windows installation disc you get a menu, right? I burned all the files into a CD (Downloaded from home page), still not getting a menu to install or anything, it is all the files i dl'ed in the CD..
I assume that your computer boots straight to windows. It would help if you provide more details on what you are doing. What file(s) did you download and from what home page i.e linuxQuestions or Fedora.
Did you verify the CD does not contain a single file with an ISO extension.
I believe you can access the BIOS setup by pressing F10 when the computer boots. You can change the boot order in the system configuration menu. Set the DVD/CD drive to boot first.

I downloaded Fedora-14-x86_64-Live-Desktop and it had these files: EFI (Folder), isolinux (folder), LiveOS (folder), GPL (file),
and i tried to change the BIOS thing, still didnt work!
And i did download from Fedora's homepage..
Do you have msn or something like that so we could chat more easier?
This did work!
Thanks!
Now i have another problem, now i cannot connect to wireless internet? That sucks! Is there any ways to boot Linux mint, when have Fedora? I cannot connect online with Fedora, but can with Mint..
fedora is the "cutting edge" and VERY often has bugs
Also sometimes the software in fedora is SO NEW that the hardware people do not yet support it yet .
fedora is what is called " the blending edge"
it dose not always work right seeing it is normally " the newest of the new"
but wireless ? should work unless it is a broadcom usb -- some of those are MS only
it is only a matter of configuring it
did you set it up ?????
wireless dose not always " Auto" do everything for you .
