Yes, but there is no imstructions for how it is to be done or at least telling people that when you go to burn a iso image your software should have a option of .iso extension . In Nero I open it up chose brun image to disc select the drop down box chose .iso format navigate to the iso and burn it. Most people don't do that. they just drag the iso image to the cd burner and burn Hense the coasters we are constantly asking people "is theree 1 file on the disc or many?" i'm not trying to stirr up trouble but, they have instructions on the site to do it in linux which is great. but most peoplewho are visiting the page are in windows http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-9-Manual/getting-started-guide/s1-disks-cdrw.html -- Jim Lawrence Registered Linux User: #376813 ******************************************************** When I'm feeling down, I like to whistle.
