Hmm, something that could be put on the download page: "Read this information before burning the disk (which, then, links to information about it), and come back here and read it again after you tried to burn a disc and it didn't work." ;-) I do seem to recall that the Red Hat Linux pages weren't too bad at providing a link to informing you about burning discs. And while I agree that it'd be impossible to write a recipe to burn discs that all could follow without thinking, it's not too hard to explain what an ISO is, what you're supposed to do with it, and some clues as to at least some software that can do (e.g. Nero) it and what function to try and find in the software (e.g. "burn disc from an ISO file", "burn image", etc.). That would give more people a fighting chance at getting it right, first or second go. -- Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
