1. Try with FC3 discs.

2. You're sure that the Nero-burned CD has several files on it, not just
the one?

3. Try installing a minimal set of packages (I believe there's an option
for this). IIRC, this doesn't use CD 2. Then, assuming that you have a
decent Internet connection, use yum to install the packages you need.
