    I downloaded the ISO images and burned them to CD. But I cannot boot
    from the CD, even though it is supported by my system BIOS. Also, when
    I burned the images, they copied exactly as the downloaded images, just
    an ISO image. Shouldn't there be individual files such as the kernel on
    the CD. If not, how can I create a bootable floppy disk so I can get
    Linux installed, and will that even work with the ISO images on the CDs?

    Gotta get out away from Windoze,
    Bruce Smith
