Yes, true, as I said "not that you can do much with them, unless you have an Intel based Mac that is."
But so far the question only was "why can't I view the contents of the .ISO", normally all you have to do to view the content of an .ISO is to double click on it, and it will open as if you had just inserted the burned CD, its a standard feature of OSX. Assuming caber has an Intel rather than a PPC based Mac, he should be able to use the Live_CD as well. If he can't get a good download, I suggest he buys a CD from one of the many places that offer ready-burned Linux distro's. They are normally only a few dollar. Still, beats me why he cannot just download the .ISO.
