Im a newbe to dsl.
I downloaded the iso using fedora core1 and have tried burning it to cd using gnomes burning program that comes with fedora but have only succeeed in creating coasters!

One of the sites I downloaded the iso from contained a script to creat the cd from but that still didnt work either!

Any help would be appreciated.

dannyk,

open a terminal as root,type cdrecord -scanbus.The output should show
a 3 digit comma separated number ---let's say it is 0,0,0 -- where your burner is located.Change directory to where your damnsmall iso is.
Put a disk in the burner.Type cdrecord dev=0,0,0 damnsmall-0.x.iso
and cdrecord will burn it.
This is only one way to burn your iso.

You gotta do the scanbus if you want it to work. Also, for the script, if you have an IDE burner, you could also try cdrecord dev=atapi -scanbus and work from that, then use what it finds there as the "device info" in the script.
