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
The number of quirks is proliferating with the number of distros. With
Xandros, and perhaps some others, you havta go out of your way to stop
the default MD5 checksum before burning the CD.

It is gonzo easier to spend a few bucks and order copies of a few
distros from some vendor.
Its too bad nobody offers a small download of just the essentials to
test the kernel and burning.
