Getting .Iso's onto CD

Engelbert_Linux · 06-17-2006, 01:23 PM

What do you do after you download the .iso images?

Do you put them onto a CD, and then boot from the CD? I tried this, but I think I copied "slackware-10.2-install-d1.iso.asc" and "slackware-10.2-install-d1.iso.md5" How would this affect the CD?

Thanks much,
V

The ISO files are the images of the original CDs. They should not be copied to the CDs. But, they should be written to CDs by using specific software.
There's a program called K3b in KDE, which allows you to burn ISO images to CDs and DVDs. if you are familiar with NERO, it's available both for Windows and Linux.

Code:
