How To Burn an iso Image

iso images are useful for many things. the two most common uses (that I know of) are making linux (and bsd and unix) cd's and for "warez" or illegal software from off the net. I will only be talking about the linux cd's. to burn the iso you will need a cd or dvd burner, a program to burn the iso, and the iso itself. first off, if your burner is external it will probably come with some software that will let you burn it. if your buner came built inot the computer there might be some software that cam with it. if there was not, you will need to get a new burner. (it is worth noting that MS's cd burner doen't do iso's). i would reccomend infra recorder for the usual reasons (open source, and free). you can download infra recorder here. go ahead and install your burner if you haven't already, and run it. put in your BLANK cd and kill off any attempts by autorun to make you use microsofts stuff. then if you are using infra recorder goto actions > burn image.


(thanks to the ubuntu website for this image)

in any other burner it will be something similar.

then find your iso which will be wherever you saved it, and hit ok/burn/GO!

wait a bit and your done!
