Calm down.  Put down the coffee and the computer and go get some
sleep.  Man, you sound stressed.

Now, make sure you burned the CDs right and see a lot of files instead
of one big file on the CDs.

Next make sure you did not burn a bunch of CDs with only the source rpms.  

If you got a CD full of src rpms then back to downloading you go.  

After that set your BIOS or CMOS to boot from CD.  

If you do not already have a partition ready to put linux on you will
have to resize your partition.  If your XP is set to ntfs these
instructions are pretty good:

Now .......

Put the CD into the drive.  Reboot the computer.

The installer called anaconda (who cares what its called right?) comes
up and will prompt you through the install.
