This might not be helpful, Martin, but in case it is, here are the details of how I would do it:
1) Find a college student who is running linux and has a cd writer 2) Have them make the CD's 3) Buy them a pizza I'm sure there are other methods that would work as well, but this is my preferred approach to such problems.

Someone out there must have done this and have the answer.... I need to set up a new Linux system. I have downloaded the five RedHat 8.0 .iso CD image files. I now need to make a set of bootable CDs. Everything on the RedHat web site starts from the assumption that your CD writer is on a running Linux system. Mine isn't. It's on a Windows 2000 system. I have Roxio Easy CD Creator 5 which has an option to write bootable CDs. RedHat suggest using cdrecord. This in turn requires CygWin. I downloaded this but the instructions don't work because the commands they use aren't there. I want to do the job with my existing Easy CD software. I have spent the entire day trying to do this. I will be forever grateful to anyone who can email me the steps to make these CDs.
