Don't write it out as a file--it probably won't fit on your media, and you will just earn yourself one very shiny coaster, with a condensation drain hole in the center :-) Most burning hardware software will write out an ISO image--consult your relevant documentation for details on how to do it. The CD, if burned correctly (and if your CD drive supports such a thing) will be bootable. So, if you can boot from it, it worked. If you can't boot from it, you may still be able to install from it by first booting from the floppy boot disks. If it still doesn't work, smile inwardly, observe your reflection in your new high-tech coaster, make a set of floppy boot disks, and perform a network install over FTP if you have that option. May I also recommend buying the pre-made CDs, complete with nice labels, from www.cdrom.com. In so doing, you will experience the truly gratifying experience of supporting the free software effort.
