Congratulations for doing well! You are well on your way! I hope you
have taken the time to check for the proper sha1sums on the other three
iso files too.

Now that you've downloaded the four iso images to one of your PC's
Windows directories, sometimes just double-clicking on the iso filename
is all you'd need to begin the proper process to burn the CD. However,
if that doesn't launch the the needed application, please tell us the
following:

1.) Is your PC a so called i386, 64 bit or PowerPC? It's a little late
to ask this but I'm just making sure.

2.) What is the name and version of the application you'll use to burn
the images?

If I'm not familiar with your application, I may take a back seat to
the other fine folks that read and post here. If possible, study the
help file for the application and try to figure out what you're going
to need to burn a bootable image. If you think you can take over from
here, good luck to you. Otherwise I'll be looking in on this newsgroup
today and Sunday.
