You don't have to make them bootable. Use "Burn as Image iso" under "File"

Yes you will have READ access to your NTFS windows partition and READ/WRITE access to your FAT32 windows partition, whichever you have...

However can't find 'burn as iso image' actully can t find file (bloody nero).
Is it ok to save as iso image (which then is only 248 kb ????) and burn it after ?

You have the wrong files. Here is the link for English version .iso's
ftp://ftp.lip6.fr/pub/linux/distribu...iso/10.2/i586/

You will want these three files. As you can see they are all over 700+megabytes. Look in your Nero Help files on how to burn .iso image.

If your modem is initialized you should not need to enter a PW. use:

netstat -ar

check your default Gateway first.

Start a new thread, however, for this question. This Thread Title is no longer relevent.
