I believe Fedora now has a rescue CD.  You can boot from that to do
repair work or maintenance if needed.  Check the repository where you
down loaded the other 4 CDs, you should find a fifth one there for
that.  There are also a number of other live CDs that can be used for
this sort of thing.  But they are based on knoppix not Fedora.

Don't get suckered in by the comments -- they can be terribly misleading.
Debug only code.
