    I can think of only these:

    1)  The .iso file you burned, did it contain the letters SRPMS? If 
so you have burned the source files, which will not install, but must be 
compiled

    2) When you burned the file to CD did you "burn as image"?  If you 
didn't,  the files you see when you browse the contents of the CD you 
would only see 1 file (the name of the .iso you burned).

Did you perform a sha1sum on the .iso before you burned it? - Could be a 
bad image.  Did you run media check to determine if the disk is valid?

I hope something in here helps!
