Because ISO9660 is the standard for CD-ROM filesystems, that CD should be
able to be read by windows, mac os, and Unix. First, make sure to DL the
images as binary. second, set up the CD-R/CD-RW software to use an image as
the source, and then burn away. Id recommend defragging your HD before
burning, just in case the file is fragged too much, and you end up making a
coaster :)
I've never actually burned a CD at my house (only in high school a few
times), so i'd like other people more experience than me to confirm / deny
what i've said, but you act upon this e-mail.
