Ok, Thank you for all the help and patience.

Then run the installer. This issue has to do with the way Linux/Fedora is handling mounting of CD ROM devices. You may want to Google around and read some tutorials about how this should work. It's not a gEDA issue. We can try to help, but it's clear that you need to sort out this Linux issue and get the CD mounted before you can use it. Here's a third way to use the .iso image: If you have the .iso file somewhere on disk, just mount it directly, and use it exactly like it was a disk. The mount command looks something like this: mount -o loop -o exec /path/to/installer.iso /media/cdrom /media/cdrom/installer --log You may want to spend some time reading the man page for the mount command. Good luck!
