Just to be very clear on what Collin's has said, an iso is shorthand for an 
image.iso. It is the contents of an entire, existing, cd. You can replicate a 
cd by burning it directly.

It is not exclusively connected with ELX, but rather, the other way round, 
where whatever it is that's called ELX is on cd, and an iso image, or 
several iso images exist of it.

There's also an interesting piece of technogeek here. Many of us may never 
have heard of an ELX distribution but instantly associate the words together 
as meaning just that.

How do you still have a working [EMAIL PROTECTED] address?  I thought all those

Short for iso image.  Each iso image must be downloaded to your system,
then you can use cd burner software (I use cdrecord) to burn the image to
a cd-rom.  Elx has two images - the initial bootable install cd-rom and
the second cd-rom containing other packages to complete the installation.

You're looking at 2-3 hours download time (on cable - much longer on a 56K
link) plus 15-20 minutes to burn the cd-roms.  Then you can install elx -
under 2 hours for complete install.

Just another thought.  If you are not running from a linux system, you can
download and burn the iso images from a Windows system, of course.  The
EZ-CD Creator software. for example, works just fine for burning iso
images.
