If you created the CD's from the iso downloads, CD 1 should be bootable - iso is a complete image.

Apart from that, Fedora is not on the list of supported software - one of the things Fedora suffers from is that it is on the move, and there are too many releases per year.

In stead, there are several no cost Red Hat Server derivate s, like White Box Linux; iso images at
http://www.whiteboxlinux.org/download.html

Just read the Oracle installation as if it were Red Hat Advanced Server (RHAS). I recommend the version 3 of WBL (a.k.a. RHAS 3).

And your "silly" problems may well be written about on Werner Puschitz' pages (http://www.puschitz.com/), an excellent site on Linux in general, and Oracle on Linux in particular
