I use currently Red Hat 7.1. Today I download (from http://www.linuxiso.org, with DSL) the Red Hat 7.3 beta and want to install on my machine. However, the file that I downloaded is in ISO format. For me it?s not clear whether I download the correct file or not. Because I check that on my old Red Hat 7.1 CD it has directory but the new version contains just ISO file. Now I want to copy the file from my hardrive to cd and install Red Hat 7.3. Also, What is i586 and i386?

An .ISO is an image of a CD. You have to burn it as an image... 386 is an architecture type... 586 is just an newer and better 386 chip...

Red Hat 7.3 will be released pretty soon. Since it doesn't sound like you're a beta tester, I would not bother with beta software, esp. at this time.
