FC 6 Install is stalled

[Stan Dereska]

Sir,
After buying a SAM's book and CD from a Microcenter a few days ago, I  
tried to follow the installation
procedure using a CD but my PC failed to recognize an OS (I've erased  
the hard drive which had Win XP).
The book describes an install procedure using a CD from  a program  
called "kickstart" that causes my
machine to recognize the CD, I believe.  How do I boot up to install  
FC 6 ? Where can I download kickstart ?
I'm new to Unix and Linux .  Thanx for your assistance.
