this is really embarrassing. i've been burning cds right and left for awhile now, no problem other than the generally counterintuitive controls on xcdroast and the much worse koncd.
this evening i realized that i've never burned an iso image and, a couple of wasted cds later, that i do not know how to. the goal is to make one of the nice 16-mb bootable gentoo install cds. there is on the planet a distribution that doesn't recklessly piss away system resources, and gentoo seems the likeliest. problem is, xcdroast burns a nice cd with a copy of the iso file on it, rather than using the iso file to create a nice bootable cd that does as it's supposed to do. it clearly can be done; just as clearly, i have no idea how to do it. help??? -- dep Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world.
