Installing Mandriva from dvd iso


Hi,
Downloading of Mandriva dvd iso is complete(Mandriva 2009).
Would anyone please tell what to do now?
Opening this iso file with the Nero burning software with blank dvd will do the job?

If you have downloaded it as an iso image file, you need to make sure you choose the option "burn as image". Do an md5 check (instructions should be on the download page) to ensure a good download and burn at a low speed. Insert in the drive and let it load, should have an install icon when it is loaded.

You have to burn it as a iso image file so Not as a data file
Never use Nero but I suppose it has that option
