the ISO image contains everything you need to create a bootable CD. If
you have a CD-RW (burner), and you double click the ISO file, and the
software for the burner is installed correctly, it should automatically
go. If not, burning the ISO image will depend on which software you use
with your burner.

Why not help us produce some proper documentation? If you have the time
to write up 3 paragraphs complaining about the current state of
documentation, then maybe you have the time to write 3 paragraphs
explaining what an ISO is and the minimal requirements is a CD-RW, XP or
burning software, and a blank CD.

However, this is not a bug, more or less a call for support. I am
willing to work with you in order to get your bootable CD going. If
you feel this is a bug, I would recommend that you open another, with
more specifics, and less YELLING. Thank you.

im actually changing my mind on this, as maybe we could at least direct
users to information on what an ISO image is, and the options they have
for burning the images.

Also new to Ubuntu 6.10 is the Switching From Windows Guide that will help you 
make the switch and should explain things.
THe doc-team would love to have you help out w/ documentation and the wiki and

The Burning the ISO section should be put before the mirror lists on
http://www.ubuntu.com/download.

My thoughts on usability are that someone goes to ubuntu.com, clicks on
download, then clicks on their country.  Many won't check what's further
down on the download page before heading to the mirror.

The other two sections are OK at the bottom - Ordering Pressed CDs at
the bottom is OK because there's a link to Shipit - Free CDs on the
top right anyway and the Source Code section isn't important to
installation either.
