I've dled the DVD iso of FC3 and burned it as an image so now the DVD contains 16 files and 3 folders. I went into my bios and set cd-rom to 1st in boot order but when I turn on my computer I don't get "press any key to boot from cd-rom", it just keeps booting up windows. This is not for the computer shown in my sig, it's for a Shuttle 1.3ghz Duron that I just got. Can someone help me out?
 
What DVD player do you have in your computer? We distributed FC3 with a book and I have never seen this problem before...
 
Well it looks like the problem was with my dvd-rom and the dvd itself. I had to plug in another cd-rom drive and re-dl and burn the files. I'm up and running now!
 
There are so many updates and I have no clue what most of them are. Should I just update and install everything?
 
If you have the bandwidth and the space on your hard drive, that's fine. Once you get more familiar with FC, you can re-install later with only the programs you want/need and then update those.
