Hi Robert. You shouldn't have to explicitly make the CDRW bootable. What you need to look for in your cd writer software (I don't know X-CDroast) is the option to burn an iso image to the cd. For example, in the windows software I use, I have a menu option 'create cd from image' - this does everything correctly including creating a bootable cd.
Hope this helps Cheers Gavin > -----Original Message----- > From: Robert Fisher [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Sunday, May 12, 2002 08:58 > To: CLUG > Subject: Re: RH 7.3 > > > I have downloaded the ISO images but I am having trouble creating CD's. > > I tried copying the iso image to a CD but it did not boot from the CD.
