you shouldn't have to open the iso to make a bootable cd. what program
did you use to burn the cd with? if you use cdrecord you should just be
able to use cdrecord -v -speed# dev=/burning/device Mandrake80-inst.iso
and things should work. if you're using somekind of graphical tool you
might need to tell it your burning an iso. it sounds like your burn
program just thought you wanted to burn reagular old data files, which
would explain the contents of the CD.
