You certainly would want the i386 architecture disk.  It’s also possible that the CD burner in your system is sufficiently old that it cannot burn the full 700MB CD (systems of that vintage could write at most 650MB to a CD generally).

You should also join and post your question to the users@lists.fedoraproject.org (http://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users) mailing list.  The list you sent to is for the people who administer the hundreds of mirrors worldwide for download Fedora content from.

Thanks,
Matt

Subject: re: Fedora 10

I've tried to download and burn Fedora 10 and Fedora 11 only to find that the first disc will not install. I cahnged hds, and added memory, check ed the platform type. I burned both the i386 and the 64 bit editions to no avail. The processor is an intel 586 or MMX. The machine worked fine with Win 98 and still does. Any suggestions?
