The Roxio software has the word "File" in the upper left corner. Click
on that and a menu drops down. Click on the item which says "Create -
or
Burn - a CD from an image". An ISO file is an "image".

Hi.
I tried that 4 times and wasted 4 disks
it stops at 10% and does not go further
this has never happened to any disk before in the past year

It is quite possible that your downloads have been corrupted, particularly
if you used Internet Exploder for the downloads. Either use Firefox

I use firefox.
This is getting too complicated.
Why can't they just make an .EXE file for the linux systems and click:
Install !!
No need to answer.
I'm sure the answer is complicated.
If it takes me a week and I can't even write the download so far.
I'm not sure I want linux



or
the BSD ftp client accessible from the cmd.exe shell.

To test the integrity of your images use the md5.exe utility available
here:

http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/

Most, if not all, Linux image download sites provide an MD5 checksum file
in the same directory where the images are found. "Type" that file and
compare the hash with the one provided by executing

md5 name_of_image.iso
