The ISO shouldn't be a file on the CD.  It should *be* the CD.

Since that probably doesn't make a whole lot of sense at first glance, 
let me explain.  The ISO that you downloaded isn't just a file; it is an 
image of an entire filesystem.  It's a whole lot of files smooshed 
together along with data describing where exactly those files are 
located within the ISO -- sort of like one ZIP file can contain a whole 
lot of smaller files along with the data necessary to decompress them. 
When you burn an ISO to a CD, you don't see the ISO, you see all the 
little files within it.  Within the ISO are the files needed to boot off 
the CD.

What program are you using to burn CD's?  We should be able to figure 
out how to burn a CD image with it.
