ISO image files
Hi, Group: I have looked in all the familiar sources of info, and have come up empty. I have a binary file in .iso image format. What do I need to do to install it? The file is in my download directory, but I want to burn a CD and install it from that. I did this some time back, but my memory has deserted me on this one. Can someone help?

Re: ISO image files
Hi: I forgot to mention in my recent post, that I checked the iso file against the published md5 checksum using md5sum, and it matches okay.
