The download comes as five CD images. If you plan on installing from
CD, you burn the **images** to CD; note that this is not the same as
burning the file to CD!!!! If you are going to install from DVD, "cat"
the five images, in order, and burn them to DVD. See the docs for
whatever you use to burn CDs/DVDs for information about burning images.
Basically, you are not creating a file system on the CD with a volume
label, root directory, etc. The "image" is a "canned" file system.

Yes, "Active@ ISO Burner" ... this is good. I have used it in several
occasions. It even burns from command line.
