burning ISO images to cd

springricepat · #1 29th May 2006, 08:15 PM

I've dowloaded the ISO images of LINUX, but I don't know how to burn these onto a CD in a format that my CD reader on (on a second PC) will read. I want to load, install and run Linux on this second PC.

How do I do this?
I"m not a techy, but an appoications programmer who wants to do some development in PHP/MySQL, and move away fromm the Windows World.

Yes, but I didn't realise that I had posted the first one.

I'll remove it if that's the best thing.

Since you have the image file on Windows XP, you need an application that allows to burn it on a CD. So far, Nero is one of them until I found out about the existence of a free cd burner for Windows XP, CD Burner XP. Grab it and read the instructions.

In a future, please avoid duplicating posts and let know if you have succesfully burner you Linux (name of distribution?).
