What you downloaded was an ISO file (a CD image). Use your favorite CD burning software to open and burn the file. If you don't have any software that will open an ISO then download Deep Burner from www.download.com.

Once you have successfully burned the image, restart the computer using the CD as the first boot drive.

For example, in Nero CD burning program, do this.

First, cancel out of any "wizards" or nero express.

For Nero 5.x, Go to the top menu and choose File -> burn image

or

for Nero 6.x, go to the top menu and choose Recorder -> burn image

and select the dsl.iso file

Some computers do not boot with CD-RW disks, so you should try a CD-R disk first.

after i burn it , i need a cd to put the files in it ?
or just burn it and restart using CD as first boot drive?

"burning" requires a blank CD disk.

After burning is complete, restart using the CDROM drive as your first boot device.
