Recently, our company started pursuing some contracts for developing
Linux software. I was delighted, for I always wanted to do a Linux
project. I told my boss that Suse 9.3 Professional was available as a
free download, and I got approval to install Linux on one of our
development platforms.

So I downloaded the ISO images for Suse 9.3, and burned them to CD using
  Roxio Easy CD creator. As instructed, I burned them in the ISO-9660
format. When I view the resulting disks from Windows explorer, they look
great. The only problem is that I cannot seem to boot from them!

Is there some other parameter I need to set when burning these ISO
images in order to get a bootable disk? Should I use a different disk
burning software package? Any help would be most appreciated.
