As lisa puts it iso's are exact copies of cd/dvds in a file format. All, or at least most, linux distros come an iso file. to process this open up your cd/dvd burning softeware and have it burn an image file (aka iso file). what this will do is a bit by bit copy of that file to the cd/dvd so that it is an exact copy of the original. thus you can boot this from the media and install linux.

I am trying to understand how to take an ISO file and create a boot CD from it.

I don't understand how Lunix relates to ISO files but Linux is mentioned at several web sites. I understand TAR files but can anyone understand how this relates to anything.

Does anyone on the list know of some good discussions sites on this subject as it relates to Linux and Windlows.

Thanks
