I just downloaded the 4 portions of Linux, ie, they are of the filenames "FC-6-ppc-disc?.iso".
May I know how do I use them to create a Linux OS on my computer? I mean, just a comptuter with Linux, and no Windows.
Do I just try to load them from the CD I uploaded them to? What are the steps?

Look it looks like you grabbed a copy of Fedora Core 6. Burn all of the iso images to cds. Go to your bios setup before your os boots and change your boot priority to boot from the cd. Put disc 1 in and off you go.
Oh yeah and it looks like you downloaded the wrong iso's If you have a normal pc get the i386 version.

make sure your computer can boot from the CD rom place the cd rom in the drive then reboot the system... it will or should boot from the cd. and start to install linux....
you have not said what linux your installing.... the best linux is novell suse linux,,,, you can download the live DVD version and run it from the DVD.. before you install it onto your system, that way you will see if it picks up all your hardware...
Now one thing to remember that when you install linux, it will format your hard drive, and if you want to go back to MS windows, when you try to install windows again it will not see your hard drive, you will need to fdisk the hard drive again. so make sure you have a windows 98 boot disk on hand
if you install Novell Suse Linux, there are plenty of help programs you can download in pdf format
the sites for downloading Novell suse linux is below

When burning the ISOs to CDs remember to burn the content in the ISO, not the ISO it's self.
Also, you will need to make the CD bootable.
When I installed Fedora Core 5, I went though 30 CDs figuring out I did the ISO, not the content. Then forgot the bootable. Then my CD drive couldn't make CD correctly...

Congratulations on the wise choice to switch to Linux. Linux starts with a bootloader, usually either grub or Lilo. You can download those to a floppy. However, the easiest way is to get Kubuntu, a Linux flavor, for free at www.kubuntu.org They will even send you a boot CD for free! Postage Free, also!

you need to use your cd burner and turn the .iso files into cd's. run your cd burning software, find the option to turn .iso file into cd. If your burning software doesn't have that option, this freeware one does http://www.deepburner.com it will make bootable cd's that will install linux.
