To find the freely downloadable distributions of Fedora, look for a <em class="firstterm">mirror</em>. A mirror is a computer server open to the public for free downloads of software, including Fedora. Mirrors offer both free open source software and closed source software. To locate a mirror, visit <a href="http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist">http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist</a> using a Web browser, and choose a server from the list.

Mirrors publish Fedora software under a well-organized hierarchy of folders. For example, the Fedora 11 distribution normally appears in the directory <code class="filename">fedora/linux/releases/11/</code>. This directory contains a folder for each architecture supported by that release of Fedora. CD and DVD media files appear inside that folder, in a folder called <code class="filename">iso/</code>. For example, you can find the file for the DVD distribution of Fedora 11 for x86_64 at <code class="filename">fedora/linux/releases/11/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-11-x86_64-DVD.iso</code>.

When an x86 computer is booted, the processor looks at the end of system memory for the <em class="firstterm">Basic Input/Output System</em> or <em class="firstterm">BIOS</em> program and runs it. The BIOS controls not only the first step of the boot process, but also provides the lowest level interface to peripheral devices. For this reason it is written into read-only, permanent memory and is always available for use.
</div><div class="para">
Other platforms use different programs to perform low-level tasks roughly equivalent to those of the BIOS on an x86 system. For instance, Itanium-based computers use the <em class="firstterm">Extensible Firmware Interface</em> (<em class="firstterm">EFI</em>) <em class="firstterm">Shell</em>.

Once loaded, the BIOS tests the system, looks for and checks peripherals, and then locates a valid device with which to boot the system. Usually, it checks any diskette drives and CD-ROM drives present for bootable media, then, failing that, looks to the system's hard drives. In most cases, the order of the drives searched while booting is controlled with a setting in the BIOS, and it looks on the master IDE device on the primary IDE bus. The BIOS then loads into memory whatever program is residing in the first sector of this device, called the <em class="firstterm">Master Boot Record</em> or <em class="firstterm">MBR</em>. The MBR is only 512 bytes in size and contains machine code instructions for booting the machine, called a boot loader, along with the partition table. Once the BIOS finds and loads the boot loader program into memory, it yields control of the boot process to it.
