Perhaps you should be a bit more patient...

You dont burn the iso to a cd as data, you have to burn it as DAO or what they call (disk at once)...if you burn it as "data" all it will do is make it a non-bootable disk with the filename and all that on there...

Perhaps a GOOGLE would have helped you

Nero specific in fact

Please dont come to someones house and chuck rocks...its not nice and considered very rude!

Oh and another thing..your 1st post to your last (very rude by the way) post was only 24 minutes...in that amount of time perhaps you could have used google to find info on how to properly burn an iso (the guys here dont live on the freeking web or monitor this forum 24/7...

You are lucky I got to you 1st, others might not be in a good mood and not have treated you with kid gloves..any other time and whatever mood I happen to be in you might have gotten another type of "not so nice" reply...

Linux is frustrating...once you learn it you still have to learn more...dont take it out on us...K

still didnt work.. another coaster.
do i just have to burn the ISO, or do i need one of those CUE files, too?
EDIT- what would happen if i "took apart" the ISO into its separate parts and then burned it?

THANKS!!

Try reading the Documentation, there are VERY detailed instructions of how to do this.

Also, you might want to grab the latest version, 0.9.3, instead of 0.7.x

i replied to your other post

download and use Burncdcc

and make sure the iso file you downloaded is ok by checking the md5sum

I won't give you a solution to your problem, but one advice:
use CDRW's to burn LiveCD's like DSL. You wouldn't get any coasters and DSL upgrades all the time so you would be able to just use 1 CDRW instead of having to burn the new versions on new CD's.

the idea, is to burn a data image to the CD.
some versions of programs wont let you do this, i got a free one of the net, forgot where though, google it, should help.
you want to burn the contents of the ISO to the CD, not the ISO itself

hope that helped
