What "difficulty"? Just burn them as isos! They ARE cdroms. You don't
want to make a file ON a cdrom out of them.

Sounds like you have erred in making the cdroms. But in case you
haven't, then perhaps your cdrom doesn't support the floppy format
in the center where the boot bit is - maybe they are sized 2880K and
your cdrom only supports 1440K boot.

And why would you care whether they boot - boot from floppy
if you have difficulties. But first settle whether or not you have
copied the iso. You should see a whole load of files when you look at
your burned images on the finished cd.
