How to install linux fedora in a dell workstation 400 it does not boot from cd-rom?

Hi Guys

I have been trying to install linux fedora on a dell workstation 400. (PII 300 Mhz 3.5 GB hd, 128mb ram).
I can't manage to boot from the cd-rom.
I have nt installed but woud like to have only linux, so the machine has only one partition.
Please any suggetions welcome .

Thanks
Giva
