(Unless you download a compressed file - then you need to expand it first.) About the onley change you may want to make is to set the speed, depending on the burner you are usinge. I like to use something like:
cdrecord -v speed=16 dev=/dev/hdc systemrescuecd-x86-0.2.15.iso If you use k3b, make sure you pick tools-->CD-->Burn CD image and select the CD image to burn. Mikkel -- Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with Ketchup!
