These days an entire OS can be downloaded on a CD or DVD image. These images are typically in the ISO format. You can then mount the ISO file on your Linux OS for viewing using “mount -o loop /tmp/dir1 myisofile.iso” or burn it with a free tool such as cdrecord at the command line or use Brasero for a GUI front end. Windows users generally have to get something like Nero, or Toast of which neither are free. Recently I did some searching and found ISO Recorder which is free! You can download it from http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm. Now you can get your ISO images burned to disk for free on your windows host. After installing, you simply right click on an ISO image and select “Copy image to CD/DVD”. Happy Burning!
While the product is free, I suggest you donate at least $10 to the author of ISO Recorder if you find the product useful.
