I used Nero 5.0 under win2000 to burn mine. No problems.

Don't think you can make that blanket statement.

Please DON'T use Windows software on any Mandrake install CDs.   
Windows knows nothing about the Rock Ridge extensions to ISO9660 that
Linux uses, nor about the long name technique (mkisofs -U -
untranslated file names, a violation of ISO 9660) that should be used
on Linux disks.

Use cdrecord to create CDs from ISO image files.   Example, as
superuser, to a CD-RW blank:

cdrecord -v dev=0,0,0 speed=4 blank=fast
