Ah, outsmarted yourself, eh?  Heheheheheh!  :-D  Hey, it happens!  Don't
worry about it.

The boot folder on CD1 contains the OS that the installer uses.  It
expects to see the entire contents of CD1 when it boots.  Since you
"orphaned" it onto its own CD, the rest of the data wasn't there and it
whined about it.  But, as I said, we've all done similar (or worse)
things.  You aren't alone in that!

Glad to hear it.  We're here to answer any other questions you might
have.  Remember that the list is manned by Red Hat/Fedora USERS.  Very
little content on this list is from Red Hat itself.  I don't work for
them, as my .signature below attests.
