How the heck do ya burn an ISO and make it work? i have it burned, but in windows it shows up as an audio cd, and the CDinfo utility says that it can't figure out how much space is used on the cd, all it knows is there is 1 session on 1 track. What didn't i do? Is there some guides i could read?

I used CD Creator 4. I go to File->Create CD From CD Image, point to the Iso, and BAM! Got a CD. Once created it looks like any other data CD w/ files & directories and such...

What program are you using to burn the ISO?

EZ CD Creator
NERO
CDRWin

These are all good programs although I like NERO the best.

You cannot just burn the file to the disk, you have to tell the program to burn an image file. So tell us what program you are using and I am sure someone can talk you through it...

Good ftp sites for Red Hat distributions

ftp://mirror.chpc.utah.edu has ISO's

ftp://andromeda.acs.uci.edu No ISOs though, but almost never busy speedy

I don't know what I did, i can use both fireburner and EasyCD creator 3.5, both work now.

I did that once, its cool. the cd gets soft and deforms. I then poked the soft part with a pencil and let it cool. Now the CD has a smooth lump on it :0 and a crater on the other side :P

i'd recommend downloading nero or cdr burn...they both have the iso support. if you dont don't iso is basicly the contents of a cd "zipped" and it will burn everything into directorys and stuff.. good luck
