buy a reliable DVD burner (necessary these days Sony $50)
download Fedora 9 for your computer type 32 or 64, 686?
check sha1sum
burn the dvd
reboot to the dvd

if you can boot to the flash memory stick (4+ gig) no need to burn the dvd.

I just saw a Corsair 64 gig at Fry's electronics for $139

32 gig going for less
