You downloaded the images, but you don't have a CD drive to install them
with? Suppose we find a way to get you a boot disk (which, if you're
talking about FC3, floppy wise does not exist), how do you expect to
install Fedora?
This is a very weird question. You MUST have a CD drive for a basic
installation.
The hard-core gurus will tell me about PXE booting etc. and yes, I
understand this is possible, but for a simple newbie:
add a CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. DVD-ROMs are only $42 Australian so even
cheaper where I expect you are.
Or borrow one to hook up temporarily.

Ed.
