I wud recommend using VMWARE coz I too had problems with parallels! Its quite complicated to use. It wudn't boot even when I inserted the live cd of knoppix, then forget about the 1st iso image of fedora! Neways did u mount the 1st iso image ?

Did u burn the image to cd/dvd or just copied the image "file" to cd/dvd?

Hmm..u did right! I think the iso image is not ok then. Did u try any other distro iso? Did u download the i386 iso?

yup... first i had downloaded the x86_64 version(wasted 3 days for that) and tried booting from that and i got an error "CPU doesn't support long mode. Please use 32 bit edition."
then i dowloaded this i386 version(wasted another 3 days for that!! :( )!! :(
other distros work fine... suse 10.1, ubuntu 6.06, DSL work fine!!

hmmm...dats bad! then i guess that iso is corrupt! Try dlding the cd isos this time if u have a lil bit more patience left. Dld the first iso n check that. if it works fine then its the dvd iso that was faulty.

If I'm correct then FC6 released 2 months ago, then u can look in previous 2 months magzines or u can ask anyone here who is living in ur area! There's a thread for that here to request the distros!

Or, you can try downloading the ISO again via torrents, it will download only the corrupted parts and fix your ISO :)
