fedora live 19 is a dvd, not a cd
You should already have both a '''Fedora installation DVD''' and a '''Fedora LIVE CDDVD'''.
In both cases, the boot media (which you used to load the installation software) and the installation source (the software that got installed) were the same: your CD/DVD provides both. However, the Fedora (and most other Linux distributions) permits you to use any combination of boot media and installation media:

! Install. Source
|-
! CD or DVD

== Required Materials (Bring to All Labs) ==
* Fedora 19 LIVE CDDVD
* SATA Hard Disk (in removable disk tray)
* USB Memory Stick
== Investigation 1: Installing from the Fedora19 Desktop Live Disc (950MB) ==
{{Admon/tip|Using an Image instead of a Live Disc|It is recommended that you perform this installation from your Fedora Desktop LIVE CD DVD (950MB). As a matter of interest (for future reference), it is possible to install directly from the ISO file you used to burn your Live CDDVD. There are many Internet tutorials that show the individual how to perform that task.}}
