You've put the file inside a /new/ CD image, and burnt /that/. The correct option varies from app to app, but you generally want to find a burn image or something similar in your menus. Good luck, Ian
Debian Mini CD bootable?
Hello! I have downloaded the Debian minimal install iso image and written it to CD. The file on the CD is still in iso format (@185MB) Is this image supposed to be bootable? I insert the CD, but nothing happens. I'm new to working with iso images, so I could use some help/explanation on what to do withthis iso image so I can boot Debian. Thanks. Robert Jacobsen

The file on the CD is still in iso format (@185MB) You make it sound like you wrote a CD which contains the ISO file. This is not what you should do. Instead, the CD's image should be the ISO file. That is, when you mount the CD, many files should be there, comprising the files within the ISO image, not just one ISO file. -- If a person keeps faithfully busy each hour of the working day, he can count on waking up some morning to find himself one of the competent ones of his generation. --William James
