How do I make a bootable CD?

[fmctm1sw]

Do I need to do anything other than burn the .iso file I have on a CD?

Wht do you mean by Bootable?

Do you mean copy of floppy boot disk on CD, maybe a copy of your Install disk with the boot disk on it?

Or are you looking for a Linux distro that is bootable, SuSe or omething.?

In either case, you hve to set the BIOS boot order for CD-Floppy-HD1 or 0, depending on the machine I think. Most call it HD0, but never saw BIOS for every machine, soooo.

Ifyou have an ISO, you have to go into your burning app and select "Burn from image". File>Burn Image, find the file, click it, and be done.

If that don't work, use nero to make your CD a Bootable CD. You will need a boot floppy to copy the boot files from.

I believe he means a CD that executes its files the moment you insert. For example, a VCD that play it video by simply inserting it in the CD-ROM.

Ah, in that csse, ifyou ue Nero, do not choose make menu, or whatever the comand is.

I did that, took 'em to work, easy night, the f'in things stuck on "Created by Nero". Never gain.

BTW, without that, they strated instantly.

That's exactly what I was looking for.
@gmatov: I used Nero also and it worked great.

fm,

Yeah, but this was the Koss player, had to do the pushbutton hack on it to even play VCD/SVCD.
