Atleast 3 ways to do this:

1a. export the director which has iso image from that machine as NFS.. (add
the other hosts IP/name in /etc/export.. or use linuxconf) and mount it on
the other machine.. (add fstab entry and mount or use the mount command..
or i guess u can do it thorough linuxconf) then go to step 2

1b. run samba server on the machine with iso image (/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb
start), share the directory with the iso image (can do it through
linuxconf), mount this directory from the other machine using smbmount.. or
using mount -t smbfs.. or using kruiser browse to the machine and in the
location field u'll know where kruiser mounted it.. then go to step 2

1c. Go to www.linuxiso.org.. from there follow link to CD burning..
somewehre in there (or after following link to either of the command line
utilities) they have described a way to create a fifo queue and sending
output of ftp to that queue and then running cdrecord to read form that
queue.. this way u can burn a CD with input from any ftp server.. and in
this case u're machine with the ISO image can be u're server.

2. run the following :
cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 -eject -speed=4 <iso file>

the dev field for you may vary.. run "cdrecord -scanbus" and u'll get a
similar o/p

the entry in front of u're CD writer is u're dev entry.. so 0,0,0 in my
case here.

and u're done :)

since you have two machines, I would suggest use 1a and permantly mount the
NFS shares.. this way u'll always be able to browse through the other
machine!
