How to burn a CD from an ISO file?

[todays]

Have downloaded Corel Linux - They state I need to burn a CD from the ISO file. I have a Ricoh MP7060A and WinOnCd 3.6 will this do it? And if I put the ISO file on the CD does the system somehow recognize the ISO file and boot from it?

Yep=when u d-click on the iso file your cd burner software should launch. If it doesn't then just burn the iso."iso" refers to the
ISO 9660 cd-rom standard used so all cds can be read by pc,mac, or any other platforms.

I've got WinOnCD 3.6 and I've burnt several ISO images with it. Here is how:

1: When you get the "select project" dialog, go to the "other" tab and double click "track image".

2: when the project opens click the "Properties" button.

3: A dialog will pop up asking you for the ISO file. Click "Select".

4: In the file selection box change the filter to show all files (it will only show *.raw files by default)

5: Navigate to your *.iso file and double click it.

6: You'll see a lot of strange settings popping up. Don't change anything! Just burn it directly.

7: When the CD has been created it will be native Linux format and you could try to boot the CD if your BIOS supports that. Otherwise you will need to create a boot-disk. You will get help with this if you pop in the CD while running in Windows.

Good luck.

The corel download I got is a .tgz file (from cnet). Can I just rename it to .iso or is there another way around it ?

the tgz file is not an iso. It is a gziped tar file. You need to unzip it gunzip *.tgz
Then untar it. tar xvf *.tar
If you dont have a unix / linux machine to do this on I think you are out of luck unless there is some program that allows you to do this in windows.

There are many compression utils for windows that will unzip tarballs and gunziped files. look in the compression section of www.winfiles.com (http://www.winfiles.com)
