The terminology is overloaded, as it expects you to know that "burning and iso to the disk" means "burn the contents of the iso to the disk", not the file itself. http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20060619181010389 That article is a little older, but the instructions should be the same/similar on how to use the built-in "Disk Utility" program to burn the iso to a disk. Best of luck!
