Right here is where you went wrong. There is no need to mount the
image, just fire up toast (I assume you are using Toast?), select
disk image and then drag your disk image file onto toast (or hit the
data button and select the image file that way). Then burn the cd.
This method has worked for me for several iso images.
I would redownload the images and try reburning them, if you haven't
already ordered the cds from yellowdog...
Cheers,
Steve
