okkk ! you have to configure Display first.

in GRUB screen, select Fedora title and press 'e'. select 'kernel' line, press 'e' again and add <space> 3 at the end of line.
press 'Enter' key and press 'b' to boot up. this will drop you on command line login prompt. log in as root and execute this command.

 system-config-display

configure display settings, resolutions etc and reboot.

a lot of packages are not pre-installed. those are in rest of CDs. check this link for details. for installing Packages from CDs, check 'ADD/REMOVE from CD/DVD' section under 'Bugs/Fixes' there.

I cannot browse the internet ,my network card led is off means is not installed...any ideea?

i would suggest to start a new thread for this problem. title of this thread is Display related and other Members might not check it for netwrok problem.

I tried this but it won't bring up the command line prompt, it just boots untill it reaches /udev and then the vga not supported comes up. Lilo is my bootloader, any suggestions

in kernel line, add 'single' instead of 3.
