CD-images of the system

[David Voth]

I downloaded Yellow Dog Linux from Windows and burned it onto CD with 
the machine for my 7500/G3 and it worked. You have to make sure that 
the CD burning software you use is able to create a CD from an ISO 
file. What will happen is that the .iso file you downloaded will be 
burned onto the CD, but when you look at the CD you won't see a 
single file, but all the files and folders for an installation disk.
