Hey dau,

It's really simple.

You download the YDL (or whatever) ISO CD images.

Don't do anything with the files once you download them, thay are ISOs already.

Go Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Copy -> File -> Burn Image.

Select the ISO file, insert a CD-R when asked, and burn it. That simple. I would suggest not putting in a CD-R disc before that, the Finder will try to make it look like a regular volume, and we don't want to do that

(By the way, my system is French, I think the program is called Disk Copy, but it might be like Disk Imaging or something else. . .)

PS It's definately not Disk Utility, by the way, that's another program alltogether

It is Disk Copy

If you have access to Toast here are instructions for that:

1. Open Toast and select Disc Image from the Other menu

2. Choose Select and locate your ISO image.

3. Mount your image. This seems to be important. Don't ask me why...

4. Burn, burn, burn

These instructions are from www.yellowdoglinux.com. I downloaded, burned and installed it succesfully...

You could also use Firestarter.

Haven't tried it myself though...
